RB25DET Rubber Intake Tube, Spiraled Wire

[jetpower]

When I had my SR Redtop, it had a spiraled wire inside the intake tube to keep it from collapsing at higher boost but the RB that I have now doesn't have the spiraled wire in it. I feel that it's not pulling like it's supposed to at 10psi (stock turbo). If it is collapsing then it will throw off the MAF reading. Does anyone with an RB have the spiraled wire inside the intake tube?

my friend had the same problem..he cut off 4-5inches of rubber and just added 4-5inches of tube and it fixed his problem.It's ghetto but it worked lol

I switched from the stock one to one I made myself. A silicone coupled with a 3 inch 90 degree bend and a silicone coupler to the maf. Of course I switched to a bigger maf....

Look up siliconeintakes.com for the couplers. Don't buy the cheap ebay crap.
