Vac lines
- Thread starter FLAMSP
- Start date
As far as I know, there's no how-to .. It's just a matter of identifying all the vacuum lines and digging in.
It'll prolly be tedious and time-consuming. But isn't that the way it goes with all the MSP mods?
Just make sure you get everything tightened down to avoid leaks. I recommend hairspray. Yes, hairspray. Spray it on the insides of the end of the vacuum lines, wherever they're hooking up to something -- when it dries, it'll make it stick!

When I did my lines I didn't think it was too hard, yes a little tedious but I like the end result. Just take off one stock hose at a time, use it as a template to cut the new line and put the new line in it's place. There pics posted up around , just do a search. If not I can send you a couple.

man juice is also an acceptable alternative if you don't have hairspray... took me about 3 days to finish the whole car.
I hope no one takes this serious...

Awesome tip/trick
3.5mm (5/32") - majority of vacuum lines on intake manifold
4mm (3/16") - wastegate actuator and emissions lines
6.35(1/4") - PCV and crankcase ventilation

Do you know how much of each by chance...
Crossover Auto says
10ft 3/16
10ft 1/4
20ft 5/32
To me this seems to be WAY to much.
Realisticaly if we wanted to replace them all how much would we need?
Just curious if anyone knows the exact amt.
I think more than 60$ on silicone vacuum lines is redic.
Hairspray huh? thats it no clamps or zip ties? If it works then I'll try it.
It's always better to have too much vac line that not enough. You can use those numbers and just buy the lines somewhere else though for cheaper. Shop around on the net, you should be able to find it cheaper. Personally I would use both hairspray and the smaller sized zip ties.
As Jay said, it is better to order to much the first time then not have enough to get them all done and have to order more. I spent way more than $60 because I cut a couple pieces to short and I didn't order enough the first time to account for any mistakes. I had to place a couple orders before I got the job done which cost me more than I like to admit. And I like to support forum vendors when ever possible but when I went to order from Crossover they were out of blue at that time and shipping was pretty steep so I did some searching and found a really good place which you can check out here

They are the cheapest I found, the quality of the silicone is really good and they shipped quickly with very reasonable shipping charges. I got 20ft of 3.5mm and 10ft of 6mm shipped to me for $55 and some change. It looks like their prices went up a little bit but you should be able to get the 10ft of 4mm for around another $14.
Verocious are good guys, they are local to me. I have only ever seen good reviews!
When I redid my lines, my silicone hose came from boostcontroller.com. Cheap and quick shipping!
