Re:
Hi Graem,
Thats a lot of money for a hose to be replaced.
Turbo hoses do cost a little more but not that much.
The trick is to source one with all the kinks in the right places from an auto shop.
It might be a Nissan genuine part only and that is why the high cost.

Re:
If you can get the Nissan part number, you will be able to look for alternatives.

Re: Turbo Intake Hose - cost of replacement
I find it interesting the hose has split. Normally this happens through movement of one part relative to another or if the split is around the clamp it could be the clamp was tightened too much and cut the hose or clamped too close to the edge of the turbo pipe.
Which hose is it Gream ?
Maybe a slightly longer hose to take up the movement could be a better replacement if it was due to excessive movement ?

True, but over time with the constant vibration of the engine, it will eventually cut through. That is if it doesn't split between the clamps.
