My slinkie is collapsing again ( I've replaced it twice ) , it's next up on my improvement list . Got to get a proper intake set up ,it is def costing me power up top . But bottom line is my AFR's were solid to redline and the car does not limp on track now in the worst conditions on 93 octane pump gas . So the brake booster code was a red Herring all along and the car was obviously limping because it was running lean on track . Anyway glad it's all sorted now finally ! Next up is figuring out how to put a half cage in a roadster without completely destroying the interior . I'm raping fully built race cars on Hoosiers and that means I'm going way to fast for standard safety equipment . If I get harnesses , neck protection , and a half cage them I can finally run slicks too and really put some speed down .

ive dealt with this issue..... now i went overboard, 4 layer silicone (with braided material between each layer) with titanium internal ribbing, this this is incredibly strong and resistant to upto 300 deg C and actually reflects heat, its the daddy of this type of hosing... sadly it costs 120 bucks per metre and you can only buy it in 2 metre sections

my ess spec hose fell to pieces very quickly...

i still have some left if you need any.....
