Howdy Bob,



Perhaps these silicone hoses are a different animal.  Per the FAQ

(www.turbohoses.com), these are good to over 1000 F in one hour

increments and 600 F continuously per their FAQ.  Our extended 914

ground runs haven't revealed any heat issues thus far but we'll

certainly keep an eye on things.

Bob & D,



I have silicone hose (different vendor)  on the compressor out side of  

my my intercooled 914.  A total of 4 hours running.  Half on the  

ground and half actual flight time.  No issues so far.



Check six,
