Your going to have issues using anything other than the silicone rubber hose for that turbo wastegate app.
Silicone or VLRUB whatever that is.Y
The dealer sells the hose for a OM617 turbo for $13 and change.
IMHO its worth it.
the sharp bend and heat load will make a non silicone hose toast IF you can get it installed in the first place.
My '85 300Dt uses p/n 000-098-07-83 should be the same for all 123 turbos.
