Melting Wastegate boost hose
Since I got my turbo on, I've been blowing through hoses connected from the WG to the inlet on the turbo. First hose were silicone based... melted from the heat from the engine bay. Now I was using some Menards hosing that I found for cheap. Short pieces were touching things and melting, so I took a long piece, wrapped the the WG around the the radiator where it was zip-tied. Was then ran along the radiator (not touching) to the inlet. That worked fine. I looked at it and it has a very small burn in it right by the compressor again. What does everyone else use? I have some -6an SS line that would probably fit and then clamp, but I'm sure there's got to be something else. Any ideas?

Re: Melting Wastegate boost hose
I just use silicone hose i got from extremePSI. It's very thick and in one of the hottest areas and still has held up fine.
