pretty sure you misunderstood me bro. Im not replacing the actual hard line. there is a rubber hose that connects 2 hard lines that carry coolant either to or from the turbo. I bought a kit that was suppose to replace all my water hoses and what not, but i guess that one just wasn't included as well as a couple of other ones.

silicone is more durable and stronger than the rubber hoses that are used. Thats the whole point in replacing the hoses with silicone. they can withstand higher heat and last longer too. So yes, I do want a silicone hose there.

If any of the "coolant hose" you've bought isn't fabric reinforced don't use it... you're just going to end up making water balloons. I've seen a lot of crap kits pushing vacuum hose as coolant hose or trying to pass vinyl off as silicone (which then melts); There is a difference and it's much bigger in real life than it is on paper.
At any rate, I don't know of any reliable suppliers selling silicone hose for cooling applications smaller than 1" in diameter. If the company who made your kit is reliable I recommend you contact them; It shouldn't be a big deal for them to sell you a few inches of scrap. No sooner than I speak do I find a link to a company who appears to have it: http://www.sporthoses.com/parts/straight/
