Title: Boost controller lines
Post by: Dean Erickson on April 21, 2012, 05:36:07 pm

I am going to put a boost controller on my 1.6 with a k 14 turbo. From what I understand you have to cut the metal line and put the controller in line. My question is will rubber fuel line work to tap into the metal line?
