Default Vaccum Tubing

Hey Guys, I am doing some maint work this weekend I was thinking of changing alot of my vaccum tubing. I found a good diagram of the vaccum tubes, but no sizes were listed. Id just like to go the auto shop and buy in bulk the tubing and cut as I need. Does anyone here know what diff sizes and approx bulk length I might need to invest in?

Thanks in advance

Go to stylinmotors.com. They have vacuum hose kits to replace all of your vacuum lines, plus they're silicone so they will hold up better under boost.

This is from stylinmotors website:

Enough 3.5mm, 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm to replace all the essential vacuum hoses with our High Performance Silicone Hose. 100% Pure Silicone make our hoses perfect for these applications. No need to worry about hose collapse, our wall thickness is makes our hoses more rigid than the competition.

I did these on my 850 last year and they have been great. No complaints.

I would suggest going this route just because you know that your getting the right sizes and the needed length of each size. It's what I'm going to use when I get to that point on my wagon.
