well, you can use 3 or 4 mm for dv and fpr, 3mm is better imho as the nipples under the inlet mani are tiny and 3mm is just a little tighter, but its up to you. if you look at my bay, i have used only 8mm and 3 mm.
the 6mm in my bay you wont need as it for my mbc
infact get 1 m of 6mm. this is to go grom n75 valve to charge pipe, i did use 8mm before but 6 is a better fit.
so your list should be
2m of 8mm
2m of 3mm
1m of 6mm

would 4mm not provide better airflow for the dv that 3mm though? (just curious)

just edited my post. well my 3mm of hose is allowing 285bhp on a tough dyno so im happy 
just make sure you get good quality hose.
mbc is a manual boost controller, my turbo was spiking at 2 bar eeek. now runs at 1.4 bar all the way to the red line

O right cool I might get a boost gauge at some point, that needs to be quite long doesnt it for boost gauge to run all the way in to the cabin?
thanks bro
thanks bro
cheers sam, well merlin motorsport dont do 10mm vacuum hosing anyway. I will go with your original list matey.
2m x 8mm
2m x 4mm
1m x 3mm
(will do boost gauge piping later down the line)
the last thing is is eBay the best place for clips and if so what type is best to go for i see you have two types of clips in your set up?
will order vacuum hoses now... seing as its a 4week dispatch time and i hoping i might get lucky and it will arrive before sunday the 26th June haha

Oh great! Merlin Motorsport contacted me this morning saying they had none of my order in
Stock and that i have to order 3m length when ordering it in. Its guba take 4-5weeks :S
So should a knock off the 3mm stuff and use 4mm stuff that we in turn dave me having to but and additional 3m? or is it rrally worth getting the 3mm stuff?
