Josh '88 Posted January 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Edde: They have 1 thing different than the hosetechniques hose. The wall thickness on Welderwiz's hose is 2 times thicker than hosetechniques. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welderwiz Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 UPDATE I will be picking up hose on Friday the 7th. I will proceed to package the hose this weekend and start shipping on Monday. Tuesday is shoulder surgery day so that makes it a day off. Will continue to pack and ship on Wednesday and continue untill all is done. I appreciate all your patience guys and gals, this will get done : : : Thanks all Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh '88 Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 Welderwiz just contacted me and said he has the silicone hose boxed up and will ship everyone's order out this Monday (February 10). ;D For those who missed out on this GP earlier, you can now place an order at anytime!

MikeMeyerhoff Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 I just got my vac hose and would like to thank everybody involved. Its HUGE I knew it would be thicker but didn't quite comprehend. I think I might need a bigger engine bay. Thanks again mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie_Rich Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Just got mine today too and holy cow that stuff looks great! It looks like sparkplug wire. This hose fits nice and snug. I can't see any chance of blowing these hoses off. Excellent 8) Excellent 8) Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh '88 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I got mine today also. WOW!!! The walls are really thick. If I don't have to work late tomorrow, I'll install them and take some pictures. Thanks alot Welderwiz!!! If I were to put this hose between the OVCP and turbo wastegate, would it be alright, or would the excess heat try to melt the hose?

csdisme Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I received both sets of my hose today and they look great!! ;D Thanks for setting this up..... Cullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welderwiz Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 To all who participated I thank you all very much. Some of you may have noticed a significant cost varyance on shipping as a result of multiple colors or greater footage. If those of you could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. I also would like to thank Josh for his diligence on keeping up the post. To those who knew, my shoulder surgery went well now we sit and type one handed for a while : : : Thanks all Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_ss Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Just wanted to let you know that i recieved my hose today. It is nice, really fat walls which is good for the vacuum. Thanks again for making this possible. Glenn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConquestTSi Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Dude! I'll be the first to post some pics of just how HUGE these lines are! http://www.cybla.com/images/forum/line1.jpg http://www.cybla.com/images/forum/line2.jpg BUY BUY BUY! Putting mine on now, pics tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Quick question - Are you able to get this hose into the OEM wire/tubing looms that are used to hold the vacuum lines in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConquestTSi Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Nope, the plastic pieces that hole these together and in line I could not snap onto the new line. It's just too thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdisme Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 I measured the outside diameter and they are slightly bigger than 8.5mm. I plan on using aftermarket plug wire looms. They come in all kinds of styles and colors. Just the thing to secure the new vac line just the way I want it. Â Cullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh '88 Posted February 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 ConquestTSi: I was able to fit the silicone hose in those factory clips. They fit really snug. Do you think that would restrict the airflow? If you want pictures of it, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you. One thing everyone needs to do when replacing their vacuum hose is to test those 2 plastic 1-way air valves that are close to the ABS modulator. I found one that was clogged up. I blew compressed air in it and it's back to normal. I think that's what caused my cruise control to stop working, but I haven't tried it out...
