I am getting ready to turbo my ka24de but i am undecided on what to use the the feed and return lines. I know where and how to physically run them and in cooperate them with the systems but i dont know what kind of hose i want to use. I am really trying to stay away from anything flashy like the steal braided stuff.

Could i get away with some push loc aeroquip?

and just put some hose sleeves on it where it might touch the manifold? i am going for the low key sleeper look, planning on making a heat shield and what not so flashy chrome kills it.

any one have some helpfull input?

p.s. i searched my A$$ and couldnt find much. i am just looking for some others input/ experiences

That stuff looks ok for anything that wont get near your exhaust manifold, but get anywhere near that thing, and temps go above 300 degrees in a hurry. You could wrap them up in a reflective heat wrap/tape though, and probably be ok.
