    Ahhhhr...Well JesseB there are plenty of threads about your question so lets not highjack this. The hose in question is very interesting. When removed there is a "restrictor" inside the hose that narrows the diameter from the SC to the intake. And since Alpine no longer exists there is no replacement.

    I am assuming you can still just pull off the old hose and slide a fresh cut one in place though, right?

    The hose
    is in rough shape so it really needs to be replaced

    Was finally able to construct a hose within a hose to replace the deteriorated existing set up. So the moral of the story is, if you have an Alpine supercharger, you might want to check the condition of yours. I also came across the following email address: sales@performancesi.com which I used a while back to replace the 5 pound pulley. So I gave it a shot but never got a response. That company apparently purchased Alpine and was supplying parts for a while. If anyone reads this and has information as to where we can now obtain alpine supercharger parts that would be a big help.
