Guys, just a quick one to see if useing standard silycone boost gauge pipe would be OK for doing the solonoids under the plenum?? I\'m literaly only looking at doing the small pipes that go on to the solonoids at the moment!!

Cheers

I have silicon on mine for over a year no problems yet
Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself...
But i can always do with some help now due to, my advancing years!

I would be carful the wall thickness needs to be decent so it does not colapse when hot, I used silycone but got the 3mm thick wall type seems ok as i used it but it does go squishy with all that heat.

I\'ve got some sard stuff in the car.... the hole is about 2mm & the pipe thickness is about 9mm!! that would be OK wouldn\'t it??

This really is spot on, i bought some of Samco a while back for another project and had all sorts of issues with it, now i\'d rather use good quality rubber hose over Silicone.

Jono, I used 3mm silicone vac hoses for over 7 years and never have had any issues.
