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

SILICONE VACUUM LINE KIT

It replaces those plastic junks near the intake pipe from the turbo, performs and looks much better. Install isn't that hard if you take wastegate solenoid out. Thank you EC!

It just works.

Does what it saya ir does, is what it says it is. Exactly as advertised. Install wasn't hard, have an HCI intake so the larger line was a little different, but there was enough length to work it nicely.

Fixed Vacuum Leak; Good Preventative Maintenance

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.
