AED question

supergordo · 09-28-2009, 10:29 PM

Looking for a response from guys with AED experience. There is a short piece of 1 1/2" Hose on the blowoff valve under the supercharger. The hose looks to be tougher than radiator hose material. I need to replace this short hose. Can anyone tell me what exactly the material is? Or can you tell me if radiator hose is strong enough?
Thanks!

I don't know what it is but it's probably hydroic hose. It is most likely a special oil resistant hose. I would go to a custom hose fabricating place and see if they can help. probably a place that makes hoses for the petrol chemical industry gas hauling industry.

I believe that is teflon hose.

Blow off valve = Turbo and is vented to the atmosphere

Bypass valve = Supercharger and it recirculated back into the inlet.

I went to the local Hose shop and bought some silicone hose. Resists heat and oil. Should work fine.
