Someone posted this on NABISCO. Not sure if it will work for our cars.....if so, might be an option to replace the stock piece.
RallySportDirect is the only place I've seen it yet.
Here's a pic

It WILL work. My friend has it on his 20G swapped GC. I tried to buy it off of him, but he wouldn't budge

May be a stupid question, but what would be all the benefits it would provide?

It would be smooth on the inside and it wouldn't be prone to hardening and cracking (like the stock one). Otherwise, there's not much else.

thats kinda what I was thinking, it woul mostly be cosmetic, besides the flexibility. I wasnt sure if it woulda had better flow or anthing

It would probably be about the same gains seen as when the WRX and STi get the Saamco turbo inlet hoses (the ones that go under the manifold). There are probably cheaper, more effective mods that could be done, but it's not like this one would hurt.

The inlet spots are slightly different for the PCV system. That can be modified....but I probably won't mess with it, since the PCV system is already convaluted.

Ya pretty sweet to bad its kind of expensive. I guess ill just get the OEM part instead. It is only $50 here for that inlet on the turbo.

That looks like the exact same geometry as the stock EJ20G piece. It'll require a tiny bit of finagling to make it fit a stock EJ22T, but just a tiny bit. The angle of the BOV fitting is slightly different and one of the PCV fittings is in the wrong place.

And they seen us coming. $444 list is totaly ludicrous. Hope they have 1000 units in stock and sit on them. I'd pay 1/4 that but thats it.

You may be able to order it overseas and have it shipped cheaper.
