It must be ok to do this as I have seen it lots of times,but a turbo housing can get real hot :eek: What temp will Samco melt?

 

Can you use a stainless elbow with a short piece of hose to join them. I would. Thus reducing the heat to the silicone hose. Anyway more bling!!!!

 

cheerz, mickey

My short answer is 'Maybe'....

The pic you attched shows the exhaust manifold really close to the samco, so I assume you're going to use some exhaust wrap on the manifolds? Like http://www.proven-products.co.uk/products/cooltek.htm

(I know the manifolds are nice n shiny and good for the photos when left exposed, but in practice they'll radiate so much heat!)

 

You may also need to use some aluminised wrap for the samco hosing too, I reckon any rubber or silicone within 100mm of the manifold will need it - similar to the positive lead that connects to the starter motor from the battery - thats wrapped in foil-backed tape to insulate from the OS turbo.

 

That 4p now :)

The wastgates have that on by the look of things,I think I will do the lot;)
