Lightbulb Silicone Hose Idea

Here is an interresting idea.

When replacing all the hoses, use three colors of hoses and zip ties to color code the system.

Hose Color #1 (red) - Boost Hose
Hose Color #3 (blue)- Vacuum Hose
Hose Color #3 (purp)- Both
Tie Color #1 (red) - Air flows towards this end
Tie Color #2 (blue) - Air flows away from this end
Tie Color #3 (purp) - Both

Sounds like a lot of extra work if you ask me. Just doing them in one color is bad enough.

Believe me, when the time comes, you will know EXACTLY what each hose does without having to color code them

If you dont mind doing the extra work, and if you honestly think it will help you, then go for it.

Not that you can see many of them anyway, but nasty. Reminds me of a riced out Dakota (sp) I once saw that had all kinds of neon, different colored spark plug wires and stuff in the engine bay. Heres an idea go single or non-seq. lose the hoses!

I think a better idea would be to use different colored zip ties instead of the actual colored hose. I think it would look too clustered/mis-matched/rainbowish with the colored hoses.

I like to eat rice one by one.


hehe i actually thought of doing that once, but it would look too ugly. If it works for you though, then go for it by all means
