Recently put on an sps mani and with the turbo being slightly off place, the feed is under a little strain and is leaking (the odd bit of oil on the pipe) from the gasket due to the extra pressure of having to be stretched out of place slightly.
it is not leaking from anywhere else apart grom the gasket, i have checked and therefore know the feed pipe is in good condition near at the flange side and not broken YET! i am going to replace the gasket anyway and but was thinking if there is any way i can cut the feed pipe and replace the middle of the pipe with braided hose/silicone hosing etc. i am not sure as to whether i require high pressure hosing etc or if it has to be braided in which case i will just bend the feed pipe instead of spending cash on braided hoses.
it is just a thought at the moment as it would give some flex and make it much easier in the future to do the same job. also it would mean i dont have to bend the one i have and risk breaking.
i dont want to spend loads and samco custom hosing costs me pennies so was wondering about that option 1st. if anyone has any advice to give me on this, please do as i need to sort this tommorow so i can travel to a funeral on thurs 300 miles away.
any help or experience with this appreciated
