Engine room hoses

What sizes are the hoses in the engine room, im talking the smaller coolant and air hoses and the vacuum hoses. Are they generally on the Turbo II 5mm, 8mm and 10 mm?

The majority of vacuum hoses are 3.5mm (5/32").

3.5mm, 6mm & 10mm covers most of it. I wouldn't use silicon hoses for coolant unless they're reinforced and made specifically for it. Reinforced silicon couplers would be best for intercooler piping.
