Can anyone tell me what the actual size of the silicone vacuum hoses that run under the engine are? I know there are two or three different sizes down there. What I want to do is replace all the stock tubing with red tubing :rock:

Not to mention they last longer than the rubber which tends to crack overtime...it sucks trying to find the source of the boost leaks when it does happen.

I used 4mm for the hoses connecting the EBC and 6mm for the intake manifold where I connected my boost gauge.

For most of the tubes, you can use 3/16", but for certain ones (such as the one that runs to the FPR) you're going to need 1/8", which is only available in black:

Not sure what you wrote, but I'm guessing you were bad at fractions? :P

No, I was asking for the quantity, but then after the 10th time I read it. I saw it was per foot.

My buddy actually found a package deal where we could get treated silicone tubing in a big package deal, 6 different sizes about 20 foot each, for all of 100 bucks. We're gonna split the cost and the tubing, as I don't really see myself using all that much tubing lol

Sweet.

Be sure to buy more than you think you'll need.

Yeah, we're getting about 30 feet total of the two smaller sized tubing, and then 20 feet of the other 4 sizes. If that doesn't do it, I'd be rather suprised.

Hose Techniques has them in 4 colors by the foot and in many sizes.

All I gotta say is support the vendors here. :)

They also have universal kits with enough hose for most vehicles...matching color zip ties, cutting tools, etc. I still have a TON of blue left over from my TT.

But if I do this for the Evo, I'm supporting an Evo vendor I like, not a generic hose company.

Anyone have a writeup yet of all the vac hoses and where they go/their sizes and lengths/etc?
