I'm getting kind of tired of my coolant hoses blowing up so I need some info about which are the best hoses and where to buy them.
I just blew my fifth hose since I installed the kit![](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Are braided lines the best option?
Thanks

As usual, you always ask the correct questions. I have a 1.3 bar cap. I read it's too high, plus it's leaking. I would also need to buy the correct rad cap. BTW, my radiator is a PWR.
But I want to buy the best hoses to deal with heat. I'm beginning my own coolant reroute. I can't wait any longer.
Thanks

Get a lower pressure cap while you're at it. 1-1.1 bar would help.

Not all rad caps fit (ask me how I know)
I like how your car is coming along!
