Installed my MBC, have a question...
Installed my Hallman MBC yesterday with the help fro these threads:

Great information there.
First, I'd like to say that was much more difficult than I thought it would be. I had to remove almost all of the intake components to get the the #&$^#$^% wg actuator! My hands are sore and healing as I type
Anyway, here is my set-up. My only concern is the output hose is kind of close to both the radiator hose and exhaust manifold and that it may get damaged due to heat. I bought some 'aftermarket' hose that is pretty thick and rugged; it's 3/16" thick all around. I also put some electric tape around some of it for more protection.
Is this a problem, or is the hose okay for years and multiple Evo thrashings?

You'll probably be OK unless you sit in traffic a lot and don't have much air coming through the front for long periods. If you are really concerned with it, you might want to think about re-routing your lines (a pain, I know) or getting some wire loom/insulating material to keep it a bit shielded.
Hope you enjoy the constant boost to redline. I installed mine and had no boost taper as I climbed through the RPMs.
Edit: From the picture you just posted, looks like it wouldn't be that bad to re-route your line under the intake to avoid some temps. Just a thought...

I really don't want to re-route just because I would have to take a lot of that intake stuff back apart, though I probably should... I think I am just going to play it by ear. On the other hand, if the hose gets damaged I will have to start all over.
From the stock lines that ran to the solinoid I noticed there was a protective insulation around it, so I took that off and will put it around the new line and see what that does.
Just had a thought that I might be able to tape it to a coat hanger to the tubing and re-route it without having to take off anything.

I have a feeling I am setting myself up to get slammed

But I think either today or tomorrow I am going to re-route it under my intake pipe just so I don't have to worry about it. I am really glad I left myself some slack in the hose!
