Ross, Lelievre, and others who are really sharp on turbochargers in experimental airplanes,

I installed the Tial V60 Wastegate and I am happy with the choice.

What I am not happy about is that I keep melting/ burning the hose that is used to open the pneumatic wastegate.

When running LOP at altitude the exhaust system gets really...REALLY hot...no idea how hot the wastegate diaphragm housing fittings get however it has got to be way hotter than the "350F" that the red silicone vacuum hose rating.

What vacuum hose are you all running in your application?

THANKS!!!
