4" Dryer Hose - Where to buy?

Hello,

I thought I would start here to see if anyone had any suggestions on where to get some 4" dryer hose style tubing for compressor inlet plumbing.

Thanks!

Scott, you may be able to find a foam filter from this company (used by a few boosted guys on ls1tech):

Jon,

Good suggestion. Growing up on dirtbikes I can't believe I didn't think of that (foam+oil filter). I did get this response from Uniflow:

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your email. We have no filter that will fit in that space plus it is
not recommended that you clamp a filter directly to the front of a turbo. You would be best to try and pipe a filter away from the turbo.

No worries, I'll come up with something. The screen is working but probally not the best solution for the opti venting.

why cant you clamp a filter directly onto the turbo? Should there be a straight section first?

The compressor housing is tight against the frame. It doesnt have to be straight.
