When we're looking for something like that in Aus, we would probably look at a local hardware store. Something like Bunnings or Mitre 10.

I would go to one of the truck places and buy a four inch RUBBER elbow. These are used in big rig truck air induction systems. Truck snorkel intake diameters go from three inch to ten inches or more in diameter, and you can get hoses and bends fairly readily for all the sizes.

cheers guys, warpspeed good idea only trouble is sometimes on the truck ones they collapse under heavy suction...

If this is on the turbo inlet after the air filter, where is the suction coming from ?

If by 'alloy' you mean non-steel, read no further as this post won't help you

You probably want something like this:

Any exhaust shop should be able to get you one easily in mild or stainless steel

in a reasonable variety of wall thicknesses. You probably don't want it as thick as

the one above given that it's for the inlet side...

Just ask for a 4" right-angle mandrel bend in the wall thickness of your choice

cheers saliya.. will think on that.

warpspeed, its from the air filter to the turbo, when running high boost and long silicone legs on the bend i have seen then collapse under suction. i suppose the turbo is trying to pull so much air through the filter the hose just gives in?.
