            Sure. Just browse my threads (I'm a relatively fresh member) and you will find a link to megaupload.

              Always check the air intake hose for cracks and especially on the underside in between the little accordian looking section. You must remove it without twisting it as many of those are old and brittle now. That's how they sometimes break like when you change your air filter or do something else that requires moving that hose around. If ok then move on to the next step.

                I have had ripped, cracked, torn... you name it - air intake hose, but the car still drove smoothly. After replacing it and throwing 120 EUR out of the window for it I have come across these hoses on Ebay for lousy 20 USD.
