i used window washer jet piping from halfords and also a T piece from halfords works fine....

Demon tweeks or similar stock silicone hoses and T Pieces that are designed for the job.

make sure you buy some tiny tiewraps to secure the hoses on the t pieces otherwise they can blow off if you run high enough boost.

dont use washer jet hose, it goes brittle with age when subjected to heat and will split/work loose, losing you air and screwing up your MAF sensor readings.

what the see through stuff? will they fit? 3mm? tie straps...hold enough??? they are for wires.. just curious.

johnfelstead

use silicone hose that is made specifically for this job. The T pieces have little ridges on them to stop the hose slipping off, if you use a small tiewrap it compresses the hose enough to make a VERY solid fitting.

Dont use plastic based pipes, they dont clamp properly and age quickly.

mine is only temporary... but it works... just as i matter of interest when i bought a tim boost gauge for my old car it came with clear pipe that looked exactly the same as washer jet pipe and that lasted for ages....

I never seem to keep a car over 2 year so ages related problems never seem to much of a concern..

I take it you have never run an engine with 3.4BAR boost then?

Plastic piping is crap, dont use it.
