lol sorry 35 feet pmsl..

First of all realize that this is not easy. I’m an FAA certified Aircraft Mechanic and I found myself getting frustrated more times than I want to admit. Plan on spending a couple of days bent over the engine compartment pulling and installing hard to reach hoses. There are about 60 hoses to replace if you do all of them. You need at least two sizes of vacuum hoses, 4mm and 6mm. You will need approximately 35 feet of 4mm and about 10 feet of the 6mm and about 120, 4 inch tie-wraps. If you\'re planning to install a manual boost controller and a secondary turbo pre-spool controller you\'ll need a total of 17 feet of 6mm hose. See the Boost Controller How To. Most everyone recommends upgrading to silicone hoses and putting 4-inch plastic tie-wraps on the hose ends. You can also put a little silicone sealant on the pipes that the hoses go onto (don’t put the sealant in the hoses).
