if your refering to mine, I like to use 1/4" hard plastic brake line for semi truck air brake system, fairly heat resistent and wont collapse at all. your local rubber hose/ fitting companys should be a source.
that is a great idea to never ever thought of that where do get these idea's from lol. :-k

nice!!!

I like mine, but one problem, I have the Wynton 4-7 psi wastegate, I get about 4psi then it starts to fall to almost nothing, Im thinking the spring is just too light to hold it shut as the Rpms increase....any ideas?

add a tube to the top of the wastegate (top port) and use a controlled air leak to back it down. you dont have to buy a boost controller just use a small plastic swing valve ( like a water shutoff valve for a refrigerator)also check for leaks, and check your bov. you might be pushing it open if set up too soft.
