Gotta love those vacuum lines. Mine were a mess when I got the car.

Don't recall but there are 3 different size hoses. If your car still has the sticker on the fan shroud, or will be listed there as well.

I used 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" silicone hoses when I re-did mine a few months ago. The 3/8 was a little big to the vacuum block, so i used a hose clamp to hold it - fit fine to the PCV valve and such, though.

OE sizes are 5/32, 7/32 and 11/32.

the diagram in the sticky helps a lot. here are some pics from the hot air display engine that help visualize the diagram

Awesome! You should add those to the sticky.

Great idea Jerryl. just uploaded them and the shop manual image from post #1... no links... to prevent broken links and loss of pics if this board ever has a server failure again.

I think I'm getting it cleaned up. Quick question on the first picture. Theres a line coming out of the turbo, but I can't find where it goes to? Any help? I was getting confused at the diagrams because the vacuums on the valve cover were moved to the firewall. Man i swear I'm dense!

Take a look at the picture in the sticky post#1, and the picture in the post from Anthony.

Also a good idea to read/study all the stickies if you plan on doing the work yourself.
