Default Vacuum line size Turbo to turbo control valve

Replacing my spent vacuum lines while doing maintenance. This hose is larger than the 4.2 mm hose that I bought. Does any know the size? The markings have faded or rub off when I try to clean the dirt off. Think it says 5.2.

Does any know if we can use American standard size instead of Metric?

Where is a good place to get them besides the Stealer?

dredging up an old thread... what do you use for clamping these on a turbo application? the OEM style vacuum clamps?

I don't know how picky they are where you are but I replaced some of my lines with silicone lines and I failed the visual smog inspection because California insists that you use the regular rubber lines.

if I use silicone, I'd use the black ones. I'd doubt they'd notice.
