Turbo - Wastegate Hose

[StevenP]

I was doing some maintenance and checking for leaks on my hoses and I noticed a small tear in the hose between the turbo and the actuator port. I thought that I was just going to go and pick up another one and be done with it. Instead they wanted $50. 00 for that little 3" piece of hose. Are they for real? Ok, anyone out there have a contact? By the way that was a Cummins price.

Try Here

you can buy just the hump hose or get a 3' lenth and cut them your self.

I just read your post again and realized you just need a piece of 1/4 " for the waste gate, This

should work.

I checked out those sites and I going to use them for my intercooler hoses. I'm just wondering if those smaller ones would be ok for the small 3 inch piece I'll need for the turbo to wastegate route. Any suggestions?

a piece of rubber fuel line will work fine too... i think it's like $1 a foot at napa or so???

The fancy blue/red/orange/green/yellow/etc hoses that come on chargers for the wastegates are silicone. More expensive than standard rubber and they don't expand as much under pressure---in 'theory' they're more predictable in operation, and last a lot longer.



Any industrial supply house, truck shop, or hydraulic shop should be able to sell it to you.



It's about 3-4 times as much as rubber around my area.
