If you want to check and see if the hose will fit.....can't you just measure the diameter barbed fitting? If it's around 1/4"...then yes, it will fit.
thanks -
the oem barbed fitting is located near the throttle body in the oem intake manifold (on the firewall side of the throttle body).

tial bov tech support states the top of the tial bov is designed to accept a 1/4 in id vacuum hose.

this would make the od (obviously) something greater than 1/4 in (perhaps an id of nearly 1/2 in if the wall thickness is appx 1/8 in).

this appx 1/2 in od vacuum hose is clearly larger than the oem vacuum hose currently on the car.

reaching the oem barbed fitting without removing the diverters, etc is problematic.

i am trying to figure this out before finalizing my parts order for the chargepipe, bov, etc.

thank you for responding - your thoughts, please.
