Default Flexible Boost Pipe??? Is there such a thing...???

Does anybody know if you buy Flexible Boost hose to connect between the turbo and the filter......

Ive got a complicated route from my Turbo to my filter and instead of having buy loads or angled Samco hose, could do it in one if i could use flexible hose........

Any idea's???

I think he meant 'Under Turbo producing Boost'..........hence vacuum in the inlet..........

Ive seen the convaluted hose for cooling systems but not for Turbo applications...........
