16g and Water line question

[chrisred95gst]

ok i'm putting this thing on and have a few questions.

i want to replace the rubber lines (3) all behind the manifold. and easy to get to while it's out. they're $$$ at mitsu like 17 or one 18 for one and 26 for the other, can i just use some other type of hose or line from the parts store?

also when i hook it up , unhook stock bcs will the turbo run with no vac lines hooked to the wg actuator ? if so what psi will it be at ? i have a hallman boost controller but i'm just wondering these things, sorry if i sound stupid.

I'm not sure on the rubber lines,

As far as the boost control situation.

You will unhook the BCS, cap off any ports on the compressor housing. "T" into your BOV line and run a hose to the hallaman and the other hose off the MBC to the turbo's WG actuator.

Are you talking about the rubber water lines that connect to the turbos hard water lines? Satan wants $26 for 8 inches of rubber hosing???? Are you kidding?
You don't even need to replace them but I would just get some 1/4 inch hosing or whatever it is from an auto store

yup, the one that runs down beside the altinator to the oil cooler, my dad thinks we should replace it because of the mileage and the pain to get to it if it goes later down the road, it's kinda soft. my mileage is 80k and it is a 95. i'm just wondering if i could use some hose.

i replaced mine just for shit's sake... i believe it was 5/8" hosing. just bring the hose in during the install, as pepboys/autozone and home depot will be your best friend's in the next few hours :laugh:
