vacuum lines near manifold??

I am running the boost lines from/to my HKS WG. The damn DP is very close (3/4" ) to the WG nipple. Won't silicone hose melt being this close?

Any suggestions? This is one of the last items before I attempt to start the new single conversion.

wrap the downpipe...or if I were you...i'd get some of that shinny heat wrap tape stuff and wrap the silicone hose.

the silicone will take quite a bit of heat, but could degrade over time.

Thanks. I will probably wrap the downpipe and try to find some "fireproof" type covering for that section of the hose.

I like to use fire hose. Its this rubbery rough textured hose sleaving with fibeglass insulation on the inside. Usually its orange but I have also seen blue and red. Its hard to find though. Some speed shops and hose shops carry it.
