Id like to replace the vacuum lines on my newly refurbished engine - I've seen some on eBay that I'm interested in but I'm unsure if silicon tubes will be rigid enough to hold a vacuum...

Any one with experience in replacing vacuum lines or aware of available alternatives?

Silicon is absolutely fine. I run it on my turbo with 18psi of boost and have never had a problem.

Thanks. Which size silicon vacuum lines did you purchase?
