-4 AN lines for vacuum lines?
I've been looking at using AN lines for all my vacuum lines. What do you guys think about this? Would this be the ultimate in reliability for vacuum lines? I just want to do it once and do it right.
I was looking at using Earls Prolite 350 -4 AN for all my vacuum lines. Its a nice light line and low profile compared to steel braided line. Would this be ok?
Regards,
Justin

I've seen it done before with Metric to -AN adapters for the BOV and such. The only issue is finding a boost solenoid that you can use that is threaded. I believe Electromotive makes one, but its around $100 or so.
I'd do it too, but I'm broke as hell right now. Maybe Stan will sponsor me.

Tial uses 10mmx1.0mm straight thread w/ a crush washer. That is on all the ports that use their banjo fittings.
aeroquip makes a 10mmx1mm to -4 fitting.

it is nice i used it before, but if you want to change or add something your screwed and have to spend another 14 bucks for aline. i like the instant tube fittings...if you want to change it, is easy to disconnect and I always have 50' laying around

yeah, they work really well - especially if you want to put a new boost controller on a car on the dyno, and there's a race car sitting right there to swipe parts from

Push lock stuff is great, but be carefull using it on wastegate lines or anything that gets really hot, they melt at like 200deg. or something.

Depends on the setup. Silicone vacuum lines are very durable and cheap. I use push lock stuff sometimes as long as it's away from exhaust components.

Re: (Justin Olson)
This is the push lock that we sell and what Tony was talking about..
They're great as long as you wrap them or keep it away fdrom exhaust heat as possible. I just run a thermal wrap on my WG line.
They're not very expensive either...the hose ends is about $ 3.50-$4.50 and the hose is about $ .80 per foot.
