    coolant hose question

    Can anyone tell me if there is a reason why I shouldn't use a piece of standard 8mm Samco hose for the turbo coolant feed/return pipe? (the thinner of the 2 short bits by the thermostat...)
    Thankyou...!

    basically, I mean, the size.... it is about right? (I know the hose itself is ok...)

      I did this hose a few months ago, idealy 9mm Id 3ply silicon hose would be perfect for the job but i could'nt find that size anywhere(found 9mm 1ply which i dont think is strong enough).
      I end up using a piece of 10mm Id 3ply silicon hose, 90mm long,
      i did try with a bit of 8mm silicon hose but could'nt get it to stretch over the 9mm Od steel pipes,
