Steve had one coming off his turbo that was all cocked sideways and pinched to ----, but it was holding just fine. I guess they work pretty good.

radiator hose off big *** diesel engines (50mm internal diameter) is just about perfect for charge pipes, they are designed for high temperatures and high pressure.
