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

Wanted to but kept hearing the downpipe may crack so never bothered as this is running very very hot under there

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
