Folks,

Finally getting some time to work on the car - a quick question before the weekend. I've read here (many times ) that I can bypass the cv (i.e. banjo>reliaboost>wastegate). The question is simple (I think...) :

I received a bunch of blue purocil (sp?) hose with a manual boost controller I purchased from Huntley several years ago - can I use this hose to go to the wastegate or do I need to get something else?

Thanks for any response and regards,

Gary.

Not convinced, i used fuel hose, with thicker walls and better heat resistance, its about 6mm internal diameter and about 12mm overall.

I did the same, just to be sure.

I am also running fuel hose. It is much thicker walled than the silicone hose. I feel much better about relying on that hose. It isn't as flexible but it also won't kink, collapse or expand undert his usage.

I bought mine from Ace hardware, it is sort of a salmon pink color.

Good luck,
Max

Yeah, don't use the thin vacuum lines for the boost-control, it's too thin and flexible to manage boost. You can pick up some fuel-hose that's the same size as the factory line coming out of the banjo-bolt and use that. Easier to string underneath the manifold to because it's stiff.

Thanks very much all for your comments - I'll get hold of some fuel hose which seems to be preferred way to go,

Regards,

Gary.
