quick ko3s question

[chris999]

when you upgrade from ko3 to ko3s i understand you have to have a T-piece as the ko3 has 2 lines coming of it and the ko3s has 1 what size T-piece do you need?
cheers peeps.

LMAO!!!

one that fits the size of the vac hoses


however it was my understanding that there is already a T piece and you have to replace this with a regular join since the 3rd vac hose is no longer required.... hence 3 hoses become 2

could be mistaken though

Just use the ones you've binned when doing the N249 if you have done that.


But as carl said, something to fit your vac hosing.

ok sorry acid forgive me for my stupidity, just didn't know the size, are they 8mm, because when i go to a store that sells them and they say "young man.... what size hose will you be putting on there?" and i will say " the size that is already on there." he might say "well i think this one will fit." but when it comes to changing the turbo and it is the incorrect size and i have to go back and change it when my car is bits i would be rather annoyed! just wanted a little clarification. cheers anyway.

Im doing the same conversion mate i think its standard vac pipe size 3-4mm, you should be able to get them from halfords at just washer pipe connectors, as long as they dont have a one way valve in them

 

[karl.w]

yep 3mm or 4mm will do the job

 

[acidstrato]

tbh the air can compress into the smallest of spaces so as long as its around the right size which is 3-4mm it wont matter

NO NO NO you don't need one ! as acid said you are taking a "T" OUT when you do the turbo swop, so the best think to do is buy 1M of vac hose (3 or 4 mm bore) and just conect to the ends that you DO need, if you have a look under your bonnet it will become clear also there is a guide on here that i did and im sure it's all in there.
