External Wastegate Vac Lines

[TiTAN]

My external wastegate is mounted under the turbo and the heat is destroying normal rubber/silicone vac lines (manifold and turbo are ceramic coated, dump and front pipes are fibreglass wrapped).

What kind of hose do i need to be using to give them a chance against the heat? (wastegate is the synchronic 50mm so it has 3 pressure/vac lines)

My waste gate lines are made from a hi temp braied hose. Same stuff they use for brake lines i believe.

Got any spare exhaust wrap lying around?

I wrapped my o2 sensor's wiring in fiberglass wrap (lengthways, i.e. use 1m of wrap for 1m of line/wire.) and its been fine thus far! 30,000kms in...

i had the lines wrapped in fibreglass wrap, they go hard and brittle then start leaking pressure and the boost goes through the roof.

as in braided teflon lines?

thats where the wastegate sits, you can see the bottom of the manifold and the pipe that returns to the dump.

loving the truckers flexible pipe.

have you tried making a heat shield for the wastegate,

synapse recommend keeping that sort of heat away from the gate anyway so maybe you should get some xr6 turbo heat shielding and shield the gate and lines.

can you run the lines down and either under the sump or around the back of the motor rather than up through the manifold?
