need to get some silicone vacuum hose ordered up for the s2, still on standard mfi and all that.
wondering what size internal bore hose to buy to suit? had planned to measure some of the stuff i took off, but it seems over the years iv gone and lost it or dumped it all

you just need something more rigid than the silicone stuff that stretches like an elastic band. mine has some fairly thick walled air pipe that tony @ turbosystems fitted after i made the same mistake and used silicone because it looks pretty.
only pic i can find, you can kinda see the size of it on the wastegate plumbing

as for diameter 3mm rings a bell but i could be wrong.
