Silicon Hose (turbo)

[noofa]

Im collecting turbo parts, and i saw some silicon hose 90 degree bends on ebay.

I was wondering is it woth using these hoses over mandrel bent pipe? im only doing a basic setup of 7psi max, by the max on the ct26. or even as temporary parts?

I would use bent pipe and straight silicone only.

Only use them as couplers. IE: to join 2 pipes together, pipe to throttle body, pipe to turbo, etc..

Their not meant to replace metal piping.


I suggest beading the ends of the piping and use T-bolt clamps.
