uic hose kinked

[Robert503]

Hey, so I have the stock rubber intercooler hoses, and my top one is kinked coming out of the ic, would this be a problem? Thanks Rob.

Kinked, as in it's got a little inward bend to it,
or
Kinked, it's as wide as a drinking straw from McDonald's?

Like an inward bend, I know this matters, but how restrictive is it?

It's certainly not helping you make more power, but I doubt there is any measureable performance drop.

If possible, try and remove the hose and get it to fit better without the kink in it. Any restriction in the intake, big or small is hurting you.

How big of a kink are you talking?

Its probably just incorrectly installed, pull it off and refit it.
