Default where to find silicone bellows

I have the 90mm FAST TB and it is 4.25 " in diameter so I can't find a hose that will fit it. Where would I find a silicone hose 4.5" reduce to 4"? Duct tape now holds the 4" hose I have to the TB just so I could hear it run.

i think i have read somewhere about checking turbo places, but i could be wrong, try a search for a few different phrases and see if you get anything, i am sure i have read something before on here.

It is too bad that, after paying all of that cash for the TB, they couldn't throw in a 10.00 part that they KNOW is needed to make it fit. , do a yahoo search for "silicone turbo hose" there should be a few places that come up.

maybe you can try one of these:

I used the 4x3.5 with the TPIS 90mm TB. The TPIS is 4 1/8". I know there was enough material that you could shave the extra 1/8" you needed from the wal thickness if necessary.

The 3.5" end fits snugly on the 85mm SLP maf I have.
