Turbo Elbow Hose - What size please

[Ricardo]

Just a quicky ladies and gents, I have just changed my tip and have upper boost hoses on order but need to know the size/diameter of the hose that is the elbow from I think the charge pipe to turbo. For the Mk1 Leon R

Thanks

Ideally, you need a "special" one

As far as I know, Forge are the only ones who make it.

Thanks Phil, typically bloody expensive!

Special high temperature silicon (if it's even silicon) to resist the temperatures...

 

[Ricardo]

worth the bother do you think?

Can't see the point myself, but if you like colourful hoses then why not

They are prone to failing an leaking so I hear so might be worth it as a precaution.

Thanks guys, I will start counting my coin jar then!

Happens very rarely with most hoses other than the TIP
