You could just go to the local autoparts store. They would have something that you could use, maybe not a silicone line, but something that would work.

why not just use regular rubber vac hose? it works great and is readily available. That's what factory turbo cars have and they are desiged to last for a couple hundred thousand miles.

umm the compressor side does not get that hot and the turbine side gets way hotter. no it wont melt unless you run it near the hot side of the turbo or manifold or DP.
