I bought my Forge diverter valves used and I'm not to crazy with the fitment of the tubing. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good type of tubing to use. ultimately I'd like something I could bend and it would hold shape.

Did you contact Forge direct to buy new tubes? Maybe yours are just worn. I bought new ones because I cut them too short when I changed by charge pipe.

nothing really easy to get thats going to bend and stay that shape, we went to napa and matched up a molded hose with the bends in it and all, that was just longer, and cut it to fit on the shop car

yes i beleive it was a heater hose for a car, not sure what car, but its been on there for about 1 1/2 years with no problems, and it looks like it was made for the car.

for some reason the hose supplied by forge for the rear dv is always too short when used with a stett charge pipe, if you buy both from stett, they send you their own hoses that fit perfectly, and the stett hose looks exactly like the one we matched up at napa

Got my replacements from Forge along with their DV service kit including new pistons, springs and grease...but yeah, forge hoses are totally a crazy tight fit
