The L bent hoses for that can be bought at the auto store for like 10 dollars.
If its kinked I'm guessing it was a straight hose that was bent, that never works.

or maybe its to long and needs trimmed a little to not kink?

Nope, its the right length, and it is the closest hose anyone around me had, but not close enough I guess.

I'll just have to very carefully remove it from another Beretta, any other years/cars that would be safe to get the hose off of? (by safe I mean direct fit)

I also always used to remove the throttle with the metal coolant pipe then take those two little hoses apart outside the car by twisting and pulling.
It usually worked and they always went back without issues. But i did buy small pre-bent hose like it before, but that was for something else so I guess I'm not sure.
Maybe I'm forgetting, but I was certain they would have been right, sorry. :cry:

I just took them off on the car, only thing I removed was my WAI. Might have been some of the problem.

Trimmed the hell out of the new one and forced it back on, and it seems fine now. After 10-20 minutes of driving it warms up to the middle of the temp gauge, and the plenum now gets how (whereas after an hour of driving it would be cold). This is in 60-70 degree weather.
