    I inspected the staus of the hoses and replaced the splicers with plastic barbed ones , I believe the melting point of the splicers is 160 °C, question is how hot will it get in there.

    The hoses provided with the occ kit are choked, without wire mesh and too thin, my advise is to discard them and not waste your time with it.

    The new hoses are advertised as heat and oil resistant up to 240 °c, they are thicker and have a wire mesh which helps not to choke, they are 5 euro per meter on aliexpress.

    I ordered stainless steel splicers, they were advertised as 8 mm, but they actually were 7.3 mm, so too small, I returned them and ordered new 9mm brass ones.

    I also had some 9mm plastic splicers around so I'm using them until the brass ones arrive.

    At the same time I replaced the intake gasked.
    It was about 4 euro on aliexpress.
