-4 stainless. And ALWAYS protect any and all lines, wires etc. near the turbo/exhaust with this > http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DEI-010472/

If you're burning silicone hoses, you think SS lines is going to be any better?
Most "SS hose" is just a rubber hose wrapped with a SS sleeve.
The rubber isn't more heat resistant than silicone (hose) is?
Granted, the SS sleeve does reject some heat, but SS has this bad property of absorbing and keeping heat in.

I'd really look into trying to rerouting your hoses to see if you can do better.
Next, I would look into hose coverings like those fire sleeves for spark plug wires?

Look, even they use silicone as a material on their fire sleeves.

I had SS lines on my old turbo setup. Greddy typeR gate......I was trying to diagonsea boost problem that was acting like a boost leak. Ended up being a pin hole burnt in the SS line.

Fire sleeving or other protective wrap is the best insurance. Or hard line.

So, what's a good (or highly recomended) hose to use for wastegate?

Btw, thanks for all the input..

-3 SS hardline. Think brake line

Max777 · 06-27-2010, 01:44 PM

like, with brake line fittings as well? Sick!

***TitaniumTT*** · 06-27-2010, 08:40 PM

Yeah, pretty much.

Just stop pussy-footin' around and hard line it already.

I'm on a hard line trip. Hard lining my coolant overflow, my scavenge pump and probably a load of everything else

Yes... I like torture and pain.

Nah, you just like stroking hard lines

The coolant system work that you posted up looks damn sexy.

It'll look drop dead gorgeous when I put in that order for the re-circ tank

I'm thinking I may adjust the design a little bit which will lend itself to a more compact design... though you may not like the idea
