Recently fitted mine with red 4mm i.d hosing fits real nice and with n249 removed. Used just short of 3m from Forge.





Need to get an induction kit sorted now and clean my rocker cover

thats the stuff, not questioning your hoses but i found 3mm i/d better as its a tighter fit.

I need another one of those Y-pieces......managed to snap mine, put a T-piece on there for now but its gonna be neater with the Y in the long run.

Update

well got a bit of spare time today so decided to add a couple more covers, and then started to clean up some rubber and other bits, now ordered some 3mm vac hose to finish it off. But now im desperate for a spare rocker cover and inlet manifold - must be AQX though - pain in the arse to find if anyone has them or knows of any drop me a line. also now desperate for a forge oil cap.

yeah the rocker covers are the same, pipework looks good! Starting to take shape now, for the money and the amount of hose you get it seems a bargain....was it just the one pack from ebay that you bought?

ah pm with a price price forbez?? Gav - yeh i did use just one pack and it seems to be just about enough - could do with more of the biggest hose though as i wanted to cover EVERY cable possible. Just got 3m of 3mm silicone hose through this morning, blue forge TIP should be here after the weekend, then i need to start figuring out some of the bigger pipe sizes.

Dont bother changing the one from the DV to charge pipe, your just asking for trouble.


Top header tank is the same size as the N75 which you've marked 4 and 6. These should be the same size as 3 and 1.

Best bet is just to measure you lazy git. lol.

Yeah normal straight silicone hose from Forge will do it. Its what i've used.

I think its might be 9 or 11mm. Have a search for my Samco thread.
