PM "imp pwr online" or give him some time. Email may arrive in seconds but people do have other obligations beyond it. I would give it a day or two. IPO posted today so he is still alive.

The phone is still the best way to get instant feed back.

Sorry I don't remember the correct size off the top of my head and I don't have my manual on me.

what is it ur doing vacuum reduction or u just need more hose for the controller/gauge? M-spec carries vaccum reduction kits as well as kits for gauges, he would prob know the awnser also.

right now i just need stronger hose. i rigged it up wit some crappy hosing from lowes which works but it def wont last. i need like the thermalflex hosing. just need to know the size so i can order it. im thinking its like 6mm right?

u might be right, nd i think it was 8mm for the bov, not positive though.

The m-spec hoses are top quality, and the stock hoses are 4mm, with 6mm for the BOV. Some boost controllers use the larger 6mm outlets, so you would also need to adapt from stock 4mm outlets to 6mm hose with connnectors, also available from m-spec. His hose from HoseTechniques is so far the best silicone hose I've seen yet, though I don't think I've worked with Thermalflex, but compared to several jap brands it's noticable who makes better quality stuff.

[M-Spec]

The stuff that fits the little nipples without clamps is 3.5mm.

The stock BOV uses 6mm
The wastegate accuators use 4mm
Proboost mbc uses 4mm
TurboXS mbc uses 6mm

My stuff isn't from hosetecniques, it's from hightempsilicone, who made hosetecniques up until last year when hosetecniques went to a cheaper supplier.

i have a dnp y pipe too. im pretty sure i need a size 8mm for that one right? its a pretty big. i dont think ima do the whole vaccum reduction thing just need to get better hoses so these dont collapse. m spec if u can instant message me at Geg9113 , maybe i can purchase some from u.

The DN y-pipe is a 6mm

I'm not hooked up with any Im's
email, phone and PM are the only options to get ahold of me.
