in the picture below are the hoses i've arrowed rubber? The reason i ask is i thought the air coming from the turbo is quite hot? would these not melt?
And the other question... am i right in thinking the other thing is the dumper valve?
Silly questions but i have to leanr someware.

They dont get all that hot. The ones you have arrowed are after the intercooler as well. The pipe between the turbo and intercooler will get the hotest, but they dont seem to suffer.
Your coolent pipes get to 100 degrees celcius.

i thought that if the induction was longer, the venturi would be better on entry.

well it responds well, and shit doesnt stay on the shovel very long, theres various ways i could improve it though, but im considering either selling it or rebuilding the whole bodyshell and making it track worthy, not sure yet
