Boost hose
« on: 04 January 2013, 18:53 »
hi, i was just wondering whether it makes any difference on the quality an length of vacuum hose used when fitting a boost gauge? its just the 1 that came with it was to sort an my local parts supplier sold me some windscreen washer hose an said it will be fine, just it looks like fish tank air stone hose, an not very thick wall thickness. i dont want to waste time buying an installing new hose if i dont need to. cheers
