Vacuum Hose, how much?
Wednesday, May 04, 2005 12:13 PM
Done piecing together my kit, just need smoe vaccum hose. How much would I need on average? does it matter if I get solicone or Viton? I was looking on www.hightempsilicone.com and was considering buying from there, but I just needed to know how much would be sufficient. Thanks for any help.

I bought like 20 some feet of it on ebay for like $10. I got the really thick rubber stuff so it wouldn't collapse under vacuum.

Yeah, its like 1/8th or something, pretty universal for what I need. The only vac line i'm concerned with is the wastegate line, but that doesn't see vac so I really don't care if it collapses

Ron, what about intake to MAP, T/B to BOV, intake to FPR....

I just grabbed some from AutoZone. It was $3 or so for 6 feet.

BOV to Intake Manifold i've seen some of the DSM guys do this to quiet the BOV down and it vents right back into the intake as opposed to atmospheric. just an idea.

Care to explain to me how running your vacuum line to one place or another is going to determine where the charged air releases to? Vacuum line and BOV outlet to two seperate things.

As for the DSM guys, they have a MAF not a MAP. Your MAP doesn't care where you dump the air, depending on the location of the MAF (pre- or post-BOV) it would. e.g. MAF before the BOV you have to dump back into the charge pipe (it already sensed the flow of air, so you'll have less air going into your engine then your MAF thinks you should). Since your MAP should be on the intake, and I assume your BOV isn't, it doesn't care what happens before it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
