silcone pipe on turbo control actuator??

hi guys while im putting on my brand new turbos i was thinking replacing the pipes to the turbo control actuator ( the big double actuator that has both pressure and vacuume),,, i was gonna change them for silicon pipes that i have left over from my rats nest overhaul,,,, they are very close to the turbos and im a bit worried about the extreme heat affects on the silicone pipes,,, will they be ok or will they split and melt,,,,if so ill leave the rubber ones on there.
thanks.

Silicone has a higher heat range. You'll be fine.

Silicone is fine, but then again the stock line usually isn't too brittle and it's formed to fit very nicely. So I'm saying I think replacing this particular stock line is a very low priority.
