Default what do you guys think??

just looking at this silicone hose http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3mm-Silicone-V...item4398e586c2 to use from the inlet to my boost gauge, covering smaller wires etc.
do you guys think it will be ok with it being so cheap??

would only get 1 metre of samco for a few quid more!!

I used stuff like this on one of my old saphs between the turbo and actuator and swirlpot to headertank.

swirlpot to header lasted about a day before it balloned and burst, and the turbo to actuator lasted around a month ( or at least thats how long it took for me to notice it bulging. admittedly, that was running 35psi. lol.

What are you going to be using it on ?

haha, not a proper one, just the important part, done an engine swap in my fiesta si mate, decided the old 1.4 needed to make way for more horses, lol

also made it stage 2, (T3, beige injectors etc..)

should hopefully make 200bhp which will be more than enough for a daily drive!!
