Intake ducting material identification
Hi guys, I'm working on an FC project and got stuck. Was wondering if you can help me out.
I'm trying to identify the rubber material used in the FC turbo inlet ducting that runs from the filter to the turbo compressor. However, I can't find any markings that indicate the material used (see linked post).

Would you guys be able to take a look at that part on your FDs and see if there are any markings to identify the material? From pictures it appears to be visually similar, and is performing the same function. I'd appreciate any info you've got.

Thanks a bunch. The P-TE is what I was looking for. The manufacturer name is a big help too. I can look through their products and compare.
As far as application, I'm trying to make a new lower intake elbow for the fc. Our turbo inlet ducts use two elbows. The lower one constricts down to around 2" for the stock turbo. Some of us have upgraded to a 3" compressor housing via the BNR turbo. However, my setup is mostly stock, so I'm wanting to retain the stock intake systems and look. The lower elbow is what I'm replacing. The upper elbow can remain the same. The prototype models I have fit great. Now I'm looking to select the final material.
Appreciate the help guys
