i had a thought......
i replaced all the vacuum pipes with silicone ones, but what would happen if they collapsed under vacuum?? what would be the symptoms??
was just a thought as when i temporeraly installed the boost gauge i used some old hose i found (for the fish tank bubblator :grin: ) and the other day it wasnt working and i found the hose was flat :embarassed: so was thinking what could be happening if the other hoses were to flatten under vacuum, as its easy to sqweeze between finger and thumb

Silicone hoses should not cause a problem, when ever I have fitted a boost gauge I always use silicone hose instead of plastic.

just wanted to know what the symptoms would be if the hoses collapsed ie no vacuum going thru the pipes :undecided:
