What's the 16mm for?

You were posting these questions on page two of this thread here (click) a couple of months back, weren't your questions answered there?

Bookmarks are your friend ;) I've got heaps of threads bookmarked in my "car stuff" folder in Firefox, only way I ever manage to find stuff again.

Still not sure what the 16mm stuff is for tho?

iv got so many book marks its impossible to find what i want. I was subsribed to the thread, couldnt find it in my topics or subscribed threads search email and forum search i knew lee69 had posted but the ones i found didn't have him in it anyway all sorted now I ended up getting:

2m x 8mm
2m x 4mm
1m x 3mm

thanks to SamBryant for his help this evening and to you for your help on the thread i couldn't find :) and the 16mm was something someone had written down that turned out to be wrong.

Ah right, thought you maybe thought that was for the brake booster, the U-shaped section leading from the driver's-side end of the intake manifold around the top of the first intercooler hose - that's 10mm.

What's the 3mm for?

OK, for my LCR I used

4mm for the FPR and N249/DV (I did the bypass but you can use 4mm stuff from intake mani to N249 then N249 to DV)
8mm for everything else, EXCEPT...
10mm for the U-shaped hose from the left-hand side of the intake manifold to the hard pipe on the other side of the first intercooler hose.

See below. Note that the two hoses that go from the start of the charge pipe to the N75 and the DV are not included in the above, these were specific hoses from Creation Motorsport.
