What kit do you have? I have a few nice 4 AN lines that are set up for truck manifold kits or with the turbos in that area. They also have heat shielding around them.

Uhh braided stainless lines hold over 1000psi in nitrous applications. You have something else going on...

I use a 3AN stainless braided feed and a 5/8" drain.

I don't know what your setup looks like, but if your turbo is hard-mounted to your exhaust manifolds, you could probably use a piece of steel tube instead of flexible hose.
