Where to get neoprene hose 5/8"

Hey guys, whats up? I finally got my turbo/motor swap complete. I need to get 5/8" neoprene hose for the turbo drain. I am on the east coast would love to somehow get it by Tuesday. Need to finish up my vacuum line hoses, weld up the new downpipe piece, mount the ast, bumper, and hood. Then break it in!
Car has ported motor by JPR Imports, R85 turbo from Dee Karnagis, PowerFC, KG Parts fuel system 1680/550, Walbro fuel pump, Greddy 3Row FMIC with 3" piping, Blitz EBC, Greddy pulleys, Tail wastegate, PWR radiator, and RX7store manifold. Planning on making some big power...

I have some thick reinforced blue/orange silicone hose at the shop, perfect for an oil drain. You can stop by and pick some up tomorrow if you'd like, just PM me

The stuff we have is high temp and perfect for the oil drain, gotham uses it on all their single kits for the oil drain and the turbo-side heater hoses.

We also have all the thermo-tec heat sleeving you might need for your vacuum hoses, turbo coolant feed/return, abs line, ecu harness, etc etc.

Yes you are right it's on they're website. I will go there in the morning and pick it up, I would be happy to get the car finished tomorrow! Maybe I will snap some pictures of my engine bay for you guys. Turbo is really huge, can't wait to take it for a drive.

mcmaster.com ships in a day. You can do better with Viton. 6 and a half years and still supple.

Got the hose from ace hardware 5/8" inside diameter, 3/4" outside. I had to turn the center catridge of the turbo so I could get the line and a hose clamp on. I put on the hood, cut the bumper to fit with the 3row and started to bolt that on. The exhaust, and the bumper are the only things left. So I will finish it monday.
