Folks, my replacement wastegate solenoid has arrived at last from the US, the stock bit was playing up so decided to replace it with a quality part that didn't need toooo much modding to fit.

Question is vacuum hose sizes, should i be looking for 3mm or 5mm, rubber or sillycon (like the play on words there) and thoughts on removing restrictor pill. I have detailed files (as arnie once said) on this part and they say to remove it. No mention of vacuum hoses though.

Anyone here ever fitted one :)

OK well how about anyone fitting a perrin one instead, what size hose did you use for that? Any advice would be great :)

Has no no-body on here repalced the vacuum hosing for their wastegate solenoid????? Come on folks, somebody must have done this. Whether it was a dawes or greddy or other this must have been done by someone else! :) I just want to buy the right size tubing, any help would be appreciated!

5mm ID on the prodrive 3 port

Remove the pill but it will need remapping as the wastegate duty cycles will need to be reduced.

Quality part - plug and play :D

Ahh grate thanks mate, is "ID" inside diameter perhaps? I've been told that i can use fuel line as well. Should i be looking for rubber or silicone i'm thinking rubber.

silicone vacuum hose is the best bet - demon tweeks sell a 3 metre pack for about £8 in lots of colours.
