Solenoid to wastegate vacuum hose replacement

burro_blasta · 07-27-2019, 11:38 AM

Is this kind of silicon hose ok, or do I need a braided/heat protected replacement?

I recently replaced my with black silicone. The factory hose seemed pretty tired.

Thanks. Was feeling paranoid about plain ol silicon and all the heat by the exhaust manifold

I just routed in the stock holders. Pretty easy to swap if you drop the belly pan. Way easier from underneath.

I moved the clip near the exhaust manifold to be up on the heat shield on the side of the bay. Who knows if it even matters

Luckily I was able to borrow my neighbors absurdly long needle nose pliers and it all the sudden got super easy from above (after removing that intake pipe that's in the way)
