Hey John. How's Cali treating you? Been awhile man! When are you headed back to east coast?

I added a Mishimoto oil catch can to the setup:

And as you can sort of see in this picture, my intercooler hose that connects to the top intercooler hose barb on the manifold has a desire to kink. I've struggled with that smooth type of hose provided in the latest TS2 kits, it wants to kink so easily. I think I"m going to try to source about a 12 inch section of the ribbed hose they used to provided and splice it in at the top there were its kinking. I thought about a 90 degree elbow for about 5 seconds when I realized it would make it even harder to fill that circuit with coolant.
Good placement for the catch can.... never thought of that...
I haven't, do you have a link to this stuff you speak of? My google-foo seems broken.
So I'm backing out of this idea. I've had reports from some folks that the ribbed hose they used in the earlier ESS TS2 kits is prone to deteriorating. Probably why ESS is supplying the newer smooth hose. So now I'm back to trying to find some kind of elbow fitting or something, or just letting it ride.
By the way, that mishimoto catch can is a fine unit. Very well built, I recommend it.
I love Google-Fu. They are called Socket-less AN hoses. They use Barb fittings.

It's not the cheapest of the stuff and I personally used it for coolant lines for my civic's turbo lines. It's the little blue/red one in cute engine bay.
