Hey guys,
Just looking at running all my vacuum lines and was just wondering if anyone has used silicone hose for the brake booster?
I'm thinking I will need something like this:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 333492.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
which is reinforced rather then the cheap stuff that I'm guessing would collapse.
Anyone have any experience with this?
And before anyone asks about just running standard black hose - I will if I need to, however I have had to use blue silicone for the intercooler joiners due to black not being available in some of the more exotic reducing bends I have had to use, so I am trying to be consistant here so I don't have a mix of colours.
Cheers

silicon hose will work fine, as will a fibre reinforced rubber hose.

I would use proper vaccuum hose. But thats just my preference.
