This is what I used, and had some leftovers. I don't have exact measurements, but it's less than the contents of this. :D

10 ft - 3mm
5 ft - 6mm
2 ft - 10mm

350* heat resistant, if that makes any difference

and loom? 3/8"? 1/2"? 3/4"

I hope you are using black loom as the colored stuff looks really tacky.

undecided. i may very well go with black. loom isn't something i'd need while doing the build (unlike silicone hose) so i'll hold off and see how it looks & then make a decision.

be careful with the silicon tubing, most of it is too cheap and thin and collapses under heat and vacuum.

use this if it doesn't; need to be purple:

Silicone Boost Vacuum Hose (http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_info.php?cPath=18&products_id=307&osCsid=c92249b0811206975454274b4029250a)

If you want some hose let me know I can throw it in with your order before it ships, the stuff we have is the best I have ever seen, very flexible, doesn't collapse, and is easy to install but still holds very tight, its made by the same company that makes our couplers. Plus its only $1 per ft.

And for loom go black, it just doesn't look right in any other color.

i appreciate the offer, austin. i'm going to hold off on buying black right now. once the new motor is in, i'll probably o'riley what ever i need (if i can't reuse anything) and ebay whatever i want to swap-up with.
