the bit of hose in that pic doesn't look like radiator hose to me - it looks like the black braided stuff Mistubishi used on VR4 Galants & such - which can handle boost fine

I think it worse on a blow through setup. When the throttle shuts, the pressure spikes. Unless you have a blowoff valve I guess.

I used non silicon hose on my supercharged engine to begin with. Lasted about two minutes.

Silicon hosing is used because it can withstand varying pressure and vaccums, radiator hose when off positive boost can cave in on itself thus cutting up air flow to the engine resulting in poor milage and power, however silicon won't stretch outward like radiator hose can.

Don't get me wrong radiator hose can do the job it's just that it's not suited for this perticular application where as silicon is.

there is a setup like that one here on the island...But it was used on a... Ford. Engine produce a fair amount of torque compared to using the normal Su's


Ps.Do u guys have metro turbos down under......The 'turbo seal' Su's(they r used for blow thru 2 ) on that car is good for 400bhp with the rite tuning and needles.
