xoomer Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 *Yet another hose gone bad... this is the third hose I've gone thru for the turbo Is there some sort of hose I can use for the turbo inlet and outlet that is heat resistant? Or what can I do to keep my hoses in good condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkx Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 samco is some good stuff. http://www.optionsauto.com is one of their distributors. http://stores.ebay.com/Verocious-Motorsports is another good place to get silicone hoses and tubing.

NorthWet Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 The first one I replaced literally crumbled intp a dozen pieces in my hand. I have heard recommendations for OEM hose, too. Me, I have had inexplicable luck running a long loop of hydraulic-rated hose; it loops around my plenum and back to the t-stat housing. The loop looks funky, probably restricts flow too much, buut does make it easier to remove and replace the otherwise short hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Well I replaced it... And according to the gauges.. it takes a lot longer to heat up now... (no so good...) I love heat... and it stays within 4-5 bar range... Damn digi dash I used to think it was cool but I want an analog dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoomer Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Plus the Car seems to run better now.. more power... maybe because I pulled the turbo off the car.. I don't know but I noticed more power... -x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
