Default Intercooler hose?

Hi guys,
yep its another noob question from yours truely....
one of the hoses in my car keeps blowing off, all I know is its connected to piping from the intercooler (i think) anyways, the end of the hose was stretched to much, i cut the end off and re-attached it as a temporary measure, however, because its now too short, it keeps blowing off sometime while im driving.
Below is a picture of the hose, (the one indicated by the arrow)
Ive been to several places today to find some replacement hose, but no one had anything appropriate.
So, my question is, where can I get a replacement? (appart from subaru) and what is the hose called?

(excuse the messy engine bay, its still covered in crap from while it was at the panel beaters, havent had time to clean it up yet)



I should point out I did try putting a hose clamp on it, but there wasnt suffient room to get one on, short of pulling a shit load of other stuff off which i dont know whats what, i cant get one on.

heh, if that hose keeps popping off then i'd be checking for blockages, thats part of the PCV system.

That means the crank case is under high pressure.

You may have a blocked PCV.

I would suggest just installing a oil catch can.

go to supercheap and get a hose made for a commodore or falcon, they usual have a big rack of different sized hoses.

supacheap have SFA in the way of anything that will fit in the appropriate type of hose.

Ive managed to get that end of the hose to stay on with a plastic tie, but left the other end just pushed on incase of blockage, it can blow off, but so far its stayed on.

bring car to a subaru dealer and buy the correct hose or one of the many workshops in Perth.
