Intercooler hoses

Hi guys, in need of help.

Just got the Forge 5 piece hose set for the top intercooler and turbo pipes, however i was wondering, is there a replacement hose for the bottom intercooler pipe. Its the one coming off the bottom of the intercooler which goes into a flat shaped metal pipe. It connect to the metal pipe further up, and has a metal end to it with a dodgy C clip.

The reason i ask, is because it keeps coming off and leaks, and as a temporay fix, i've gaffer taped it on. ;)

If not, i'll have to replace it with the same one, because it has metal bits on the metal end (prob to help grip) and they have worn flat. :confused:

Cheers

yep, the best way to stop boost leaks and hoses popping off is to spend £800 on a FMIC. ;) have a look on the forge website to see if they sell what you need and maybe invest in some decent clips.
