Are those lines good enough in the high temp area's where the turbo chargers are? Or would i need different lines for that area?

Make sure you use a razor to remove them so you don't snap any of the plastic nipples.

The lines that go to the wastegates are the most difficult. The rear one wasn't too bad, for the front one I had to do some contortionist shit to get it on, if you have big hands you may want to get help on the front wastegate.

Stealership wanted close to $600 to replace my lines, I spent $12 and some time out of my day lol.
Dam, the dealer wants that much for vacuum lines?? Talk about a rip off. I was planning to use Silicone ones, but maybe I'll just replace them with the Dayco ones as well since im replacing my coils tomorrow i might as well do the lines at the same time. To bad shops don't sell silicone locally.

Your pictures would be extra helpful
