That's the answer I was looking for... I was searching for something like your setup and came across this article. THought I might give it a try, but not anymore. I'm going with your setup. Thanks!

3/16" didn't cut it for me, I had to bore to 1/4"
Other than that, mine works on the same priciple, an dis effective. I beleive iine is a 'steam pressure releif valve' it has 1/2" 28tpi straight thread popular in flash supressors lilencers and muzzle brakes. The fine thread makes precision adjustment easier, but good luck finding a tap or die like that.

Ok, so what can I use for the hoses? I've got some clear 1/4" ID left over from the fuel lines I replaced. Can I use them?

that should work. as long as you get a good seal. remember that if it breaks, you do not have control over the boost your car makes anymore :shock:
