I'm ordering Vaccuum line for my turbo install and I want to know the size of the hoses that I'll need. I'm not home so I can't go out and find out for myself, and I can't find it anywhere on here. I know they have 4,6,8 and 10 mm, but what sizes do I need for what?

my tail wastegate, 38mm, calls for a 6mm vaccum line. i had a 1/4 or sumthin like that and used a hose clamp to keep it tight since it was a little loose on the wastegate nipple

The best for that stuff is either mechanincs wire or a zip tie, a hose clamp doesnt work too good for stuff that small.

yea jsut my wastegate line was thick enough for the hose clamp to work. i have zip ties on some other stuff, but its hard to tell if it made it any tighter
