These are the couplers that I have been using since day one with no problems. They are high quality ---- and have some sort of fiber-reinforcement.. I dunno what it is exactly but that ----'s strooooong. Buy them, you won't be disappointed!

Just go into your local hose/fittings place and buy a foot or two of silicone hose.They carry many colours etc, I usually get the shiny blue stuff because it looks nice.Silicone hose is not a automotive item.

No i meant a industrial hose supply place.They are usually a hose/fittings/hyrdraulics place.If your on a super budget just go hit lowes/home depot racing whatever as the silicone from the industrial places is high grade/quality stuff and the price is super cheap compared to a turbo shop but still expensive compared to plumbing stuff.

For coupler material I used Napas 2.5in Fuel Tank filler/Dryer hose. It works very good, and costs around 8 bucks a foot. 2 feet is usually more than enough. Just be advised when cutting this stuff in your chop saw you will piss other people off. It smells like a dave lee dirty second on free beef rubber.
from jeff's ss auto gsr post. when i worked at polaris we got stuff just like that for couplers that we had to cut ourself for the 785 pro wet bikes. except it was blue.

Thanks guys, I had no idea there are a couple places close to me. I live about an hour outside the TC but I'm in town all the time. I can't wait until I start my next project. I will be needing a good place near by. For now I'm just getting by to make the project come together. 17 Days until the first ice race of the session. I should be on the chassis dyno by early next week, and then off to the paint shop.
