FD hoses...help

So very frustrated with this car right now. Think I'm missing a few vacuum/oil lines/hoses for the turbos. And the 90 degree hose that runs to the charge relief valve was cracked and broke. Any place besides the dealer where I could get this stuff replaced? The smaller diameter lines I can get at Autozone or something of the sort I'm sure, but can't do 90 deg bends on the bigger dia hoses cause they pinch. Please tell me there's a solution that doesn't invole a new hose set from the dealer or some ****....

So I guess you just bought the car and you bought it w/ issues. Right?

Start by reading the 3rd gen FAQ thread to learn about the car. Don't expect to be spoon fed on this forum. Link is here: https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

Stock parts can be bought new from Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. He owns 2 FDs and is the parts manager and gives us all discounts. His number is in the 3rd gen FAQ thread.

Most people use silicon hoses to replace the OEM rubber hoses. Its in the FAQ. As for oil lines, those are solid hard lines. Get coolant hoses from Ray at Malloy.

Autozone etc doesn't have anything for this car beyond oil.
