Boost Control Lines

[Aeroking]

Aside from the stock rubber elbows w/ hardlines. What type of tubing does everyone use for plumbing they're boost control device (electronic solenoid, ext. WG, manual controller)

I'm using off the shelf vacuum lines.

But i was wondering if something like a soft fuel line would work better.

Just make sure its somewhat temperature resistant, seen lines with high amount of "plastic" in the lines just melt to a soggy substance

Samco silicon here.
Its fairly heat resistant.

I wouldn't touch it directly to the hot side of turbo but it has held up well.
Every line under my hood has been replaced with Ian's silicon "kit".

That cheaper silicon crap they sell at Autozone will melt just from the underhood temps much less if it gets close to the turbo.

I initially used just rubber vacuum lines, than I used whatever Ian used in his SyTy silicon hose kits. I have seen cheap silicon hoses melt.
