| The Thrill of Driving.... | Re: Strut brace on turbo keeps splitting fuel line :(
You have to ask yourself, what is more important, the fueling, or a brace. The MPi one looks a good bet to be clear by some margin. I think Emmas car has a KD Racing one which has loads of clearance as it sits very low, and have also used a OMP brace and had no issues.

But why not rotate the whole plenum 180 degrees, chop off the intake and weld up the hole and weld it on the other side?

| ' | Re: Strut brace on turbo keeps splitting fuel line :( A braided hose, or some thick much larger fuel hose who's ID is greater than the OD of the injector hose, just slip it over. Get one with think walls! Braided should be fine. A thick rubber hose will go over time, but shoudl last a LOT longer than the thin injector hose. Sacrificaial corrosion Just keep an eye on it every so often.Another alternative, more od a bodge but should work Kristian
