Replace hoses going to the boost solenoid

Post by ericem »

Anyone replaced them before? I noticed when I took apart my intake, the hoses going from the boost solenoid, to the watergate actuator was very loose and probably not making a very good seal, there was another hose below it same thing. Maybe I should replace them?? I guess just get vacuum hose?

Yeah, just get new vacuum hoses. Take the old hoses to the auto parts store with you so you can make sure to get the right diameter hose.

Also be aware that one of the hoses contains a restrictor pill. I believe it is the one that goes from the bottom of the solenoid to the intake plenum.

I replaced a lot of vacuum hoses by just getting a set of silicone hoses on ebay and it was about 20 dollars and i would say its well worth it because you have plenty left over and you can cut them to the length you need them. It also dresses up your engine bay, give it some character lol.
