vacc hose keep on bustin off the nipple of the wg
 
everytime i smash for 3x of more in like 5 min, i seem to always bust my vaccum hose that is connected to my wg. The pressure makes it cracks.......does anyone else got this problem?

Get a better grade hose, like a fuel line.

get a longer hose, and route away from the exhaust... go straight towards the radiator and around if you have to man... and also, having a heat sheild on will help ALOT. might be able to fab one out of some sheet metal.. better than nothing :)

I used to have the same problem with my Deltagate. The vacuum fitting was just too close to the exhaust and heat would melt the shyt out of it. So I made a new line out of steel brake line and routed it away from the heat, then you can just attatch a hose to the steel line and your good to go. no more heat problems or melting lines ;)
