Default Hose gone again...

The hose from my breather pot to the return on the turbo side of the block has burst/melted again as it must still be to close to both manifold and downpipe - it gets hotter than i originally thought so braided will have to be fitted.

What make have others used??? and wheres the cheapest place to get it?

Cheers

I was worried about this and covered mine with with some shiny corregated aluminium stuff that you can buy cheaply for air intake pipe - works a treat

I take it as the -16 refers to 16mm?? if so it's too big mate but many thanks for the kind offer
