I need about 1m of vacuum hose 3mm from inlet manifold to FPR thus has Tia be able to handle high pressure without collapsing .

My problem is I can only find silicon hose with a 1.5mm thickness wall and this didn't seem appropriate for the application , has anyone got any recommendations or links to such sites that sell the right stuff please.

I would have thought the stuff you've found would be more that up to the job, Lee.

On closer inspection the stuff I have installed is 3mm silicone vac pipe but can squash it between my thumb and forefinger , the FPR will vary fuel pressure depending on boost pressure so I don't want the pipe to collapse giving a false reading to FPR as this could a drop in fuel pressure and be quite critical

Best I have mate;



Can measure the O/D tomorrow if you want, not sure on the I/D.

Lot more pressure in between your finger and thumb, than a car will pull under vacuum, IMO.

Gauge came with the Fuelab reg, mine was from Lateral Performance, but, I didn't pay for it.

Alyn @ AS Performance is a Fuelab dealer, give him a ring; 0191 410 3770 or try Mark @ Lateral.

Did you take the vacuum line from FPR back to the inlet manifold ?

Mine goes back to where the OEM reg vac pipe connects, Lee.

Can't remember where that was I've taken mine back to spout ontop of inlet manifold

I was in touch with Alan @AS Performance today and gauge now sorted thanks for the heads up
