VACUUM LINES
Has anyone used Macroline to run vacuum lines on a boost application? I have seen some high horsepower pro drag cars use it before. Just wondering if anyone has tried it. Its a hard nylon line that get put on push lock fittings. They are used on high end paintball guns as well.

Re: VACUUM LINES
There are actually a lot of brands of that type of tubing and fittings, it's used all the time in industrial applications for vacuum and pneumatic systems. You can get it in lots of tubing diameters and many types of plastics in many different colors.
I wouldn't use it on a street car though, if that's what you're asking. That type of fitting works great for racing because it can be released and maintained easily, but I'd stick to a more traditional type of fitting on a street car because of the constant vibration and thermal cycling. One-touch fittings like that are used on aftermarket gauges all the time though.
