Default servo hose

i want to replace the rigid plastic hose from the servo to the inlet manifold. (the existing one has one of those crappy eko tec valves in it,screwed shut) will this silicone one be suitable.
its for a supercharged zetec mondeo.

NO, it is no good as servo hose as it will not withstand suction forces well.
Flexy servo pipe tends to be very thick walled, so it doesn't get sucked shut.
I would ring around pipe places, as it's nothing unusual as pipes go, maybe some OPA would do the job.
