Swampy442 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Yeah, sure it looks cool and all, but do you have to have metallic braided hose when building your single turbo fuel system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think it's sensible as its run under the car but if you can get a larger bore normal hose and run it so it is exposed no where then I wouldn't worry. I went with a -10an braided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy-No-Knee Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Pertec hoses are just as good and half the price. The twin lines I am using fit in the runner that the OEM lines use under the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 It wont be run under the car Pig, Im using the stock piping, its purely for the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Rubber* hose all the way then. I only used braided for under the car stuff. *Fuel hose, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Rather than starting a new thread, fuel lines are on my shopping list. Where do people order them from? I want them from tank to fuel filter but I dont want to make them up myself as its a PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I get all my hoses from Merlin motorsport. Guys there are always very helpful and if i order it at lunchtime I have the hose lunchtime the next day. They will make the hose up to any specification you want and I've yet to have one leak (after wasting LOTS on el cheapo hoses online). -edit- all my hoses have been teflon aswell. I didn't ask for it but thats what came, where stainless braided armour too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
