replacing vacuum lines!

I was wondering if anyone knows how much of of what I need to replace all the vacuum lines and boost lines, cause I have a bad boost leak and a rough idle so figured maybe replacing all the lines would fix both. anyway post if you know
thanks

Do a search. Theres a guide telling you how much of each size you need and what order to do it in.

This page tells you the sizes and lengths:

But, if you're going to use silicon, you may want to cover the hoses with something since petroleum products eat silicon for breakfast.

well I got two different answers from both posts but most people I have asked said the first one that asked for 30 feet of 4 mm sounds like alot

also I can't find vacuum lines in the size i need but tons of fuel lines will they work or is there some special place to go to get those lines.

p.s. I am hoping I only need 3.5 mm - 13 , and 6 mm - 6 feet

thanks
