December 26, 200520 yr *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?
December 26, 200520 yr One word silicone try this link http://www.samcosport.com/us/home.asp hope this helps

December 26, 200520 yr Author wow... Pulled it all apart.. its the coolant return line... and its got a zigzag all the way around..
December 26, 200520 yr Author Man Was it empty it took me 30 minutes just to fill it up... crap... Fill... Run Fill Run Fill Run Fill Run
December 27, 200520 yr 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.
December 27, 200520 yr 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.
December 27, 200520 yr Author 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
December 27, 200520 yr Author 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
