i was browsing around Home Depot for the hell of it because i was looking for some vacuum lines. I came across these clear vinyl hoses that seemed pretty interesting to me. maybe if we used clear lines we can actually see if the oil is getting backed up or not. only reason i can think of it being bad is maybe the material isnt strong enough to withstand the heat. it seems pretty strong enough. what do you guys think? i rather see it then wait till my turbo messes up

you could try it buy a foot and throw it in boiling water and see if it can stand the heat, the pressure isnt that high so its most likely able to hold that
