SILICONE VACUUM LINE KIT (FIAT 500 ABARTH/FIAT 500T)

I had the OEM wastegate actuator line split on me, causing overboost, weird on-throttle issues, a weird idle, all sorts of symptoms that weren’t catastrophic but were just enough to be noticeable. Bought these to replace the factory vacuum lines and WOW what a difference. No more vacuum leak, boost is smooth and tidy, though I threw a new Forge WGA in as well so that helps too. Install isn’t terrible, I would advise you to get a 5/16 wrench before hand, as I didn’t have one and none of my sockets would fit in the tight gap to get the boost controller off, which is held on by a single bolt. Install took me like 2 hours because the bottom factory line tore at the boost controller instead of pulling off so I had to get creative. Please, for your sake, just get the 5/16 wrench and take the bolt off, it’ll make your install probably 20-30 minutes depending on how mechanically inclined you are. You will also need to take off your intake to do this, there’s a line that connects to the turbo underneath the pre-inlet intake elbow. Overall worth it, I would recommend these as preventative maintenance as your Abarth/Turbo gets older to prevent the same vacuum issues.

I require these for every car we handle. The factory lines are a hard plastic, can get buildup inside and can crack. This results in boost leaks and performance issues. These silicone vacuum lines are a very inexpensive way to eliminate those issues. Highly recommend these to everyone (even if your vehicle is 100% stock)

Great product, very easy to install, the material is far superior to the OEM vacuum lines, I recommend doing this to your Abarth if you're looking for more reliability/ looking to increase performance.

Like the intake and radiator hoses by EC, the quality of the silicone here is on-point. An absolute must if you need/want to replace the stock hoses.

Only change or addition I would make to instructions is, too remove the pressure sensor (one bolt) which makes it significantly easier to install lines 1,2 & 3. Otherwise, it's a pretty straightforward job.
