Default Weird Vortech Question...

Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but the vacuum lines that come with the Vortech kit are kind of flimsy. Since the boost and fuel feed are actuated by the vacuum level, I'm wondering if the line could have any effect on the system efficiency? That is, would be worthwhile to replace the flimsy vacuum hose with a reinforced hose or even steel line?

May not matter at all, but was considering doing it because it would be a very cheap and easy swap. Thoughts?

May not have any affect on the system but would make a hell of a lotta sense from safety and reliabilty standpoint..Go for it and let us know of results..

I could see changing the vacuum lines out once in a while . But steel lines ...I think would be over kill unless you wanted them for looks
