Silicon Induction hose - turbo diesel - negative pressure??
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 10:06 pm
I'm looking at at replacing the induction hose on my TD42 turbo.
Its the hose running between the air box on the inner guard and turbo air intake. Currently its a wire reinforced fabric hose which is hard to seal at either end using hose clamps.
I'd like to use a 3" silicon elbow to replace the existing wire reinforced fabric hose.
The question is, will the silicone hose collapse ie does the intake have negative pressures or does it never get less than atmospheric pressure on the inlet side of the turbo? The silicone turbo hose is good at withstanding positive pressures, but I suspect it would collapse under negative pressures.....
