ha ha thats so funny, I work for Castrol oils and we use those hose to pump oil to ships. They are expensive hoses because they can take over 200psi. They have two kinds one without coil spring and one with it. The one with coil spring inside is more expensive but they dont kink easy.

Good example of 'thinking outside the box' I s'pose! But won't that eventually crack with vibration, plus risk melting if anything hot touches it? No offence but it looks cheeeap! But then if it works and doesn't break I suppose that's what matters!

you can get that hose from any automotive parts store, just go into autozone and tell them you are looking for gas tank filler hose, that ---- is tough as hell , best way to cut it is with a chop saw or hack saw.

depending on the size its around 10 dollars a foot, if i remember right it comes in 6ft lengths.

Meh, it's been done before. www.toohighpsi.com Budget TT Capri.

It works, but ABS/PVC is different sized than regular metal. That's 2 inch pipe, but the couplers are all 2.5 inch and the pipe is a little bit too small, but you can clamp the connectors down and they seal fine.

I have a short peice of metal piping, about 6 inchs, right off the turbo, hopefully that will be enough to keep the ABS from shitting the bed.

It's held up for a few days now...
