Question Folks with FI and Vacuum modulated trannies inside, please

Anyone running 10 PSI or more? If so, what type of vacuum line are you using from the tranny to your vacuum source for the tranny modulator? the clear hose with the spring inside? I'm at 11 PSI and am having the vac mod installed today and am concerned that even with the bypass valve (that TransGo supplies) installed that the extra pressure may burst/split the clear plastic vacuum line. The install instructions mention that at 10 PSI or above that "pressure hose" should be used. Anyone with hands-on experience?

Go to your local plumbing store and see if they'll snip off a length you'll need of 1/4" copper tubing... the flexible stuff used in fridges... not the rigid stuff you see all the time. Otherwise buy a roll and pimp the rest of it here. It is very easy to bend to the shape you want...

That sounds like a good plan!

The tranny tech and I have settled on braided SS brake line, as he has some extra in the shop and says he also can get the right fittings for the ends. Should work as good(well) as it looks. I will post up on my final outcome with the vac mod and the Edge 3000 stall.
