dude, we don't have that much vacuum pressure. so just go to autoparts store and get any vacuum line hose. any rubber or silicon one will do.

I think those blue hoses are silocone, anyways they should work. Be sure to use a boxcutter with a fresh blade for cutting them or they will crack kinda easy.

I got all mine from HoseTechniques expensive but good shit. The only bad thing with them is you have to buy 10 feet minimum but it didnt matter for me since i am doing all of my stuff blue.

Most of it is 4.0mm but i got some 8.0mm and 10.0 mm as well and the color is FlurescentBlue. Here are a few pictures of what i could put on at the moment.

LoL... your motor looks like something NASA is working on.

Anyways... are you planning to remove the vacum lines... you'll keep your A/C and choke but you'll lose cruise control and the emissions junk.

It would make it cheaper.

Oh and glad you found something to replace the thermovalve... though the diagram I made should have worked just as well.

I plan to keep all the vacuum stuff for now but i am going to remove the cruise control cause i never use it anyway. Later i may switch to a different intake manifold but i want to keep things simple so i dont have a lot of problems getting it running.

What do you mean about the thermovalve? I have not put everything back on the intake yet and the onlything i removed so far was the EGR tube and i made a block out plate.
