some tid mod questions

I have a few questions regarding the tid mod.

1) Some writeups say to used a 3 to 2 reducer while others say to use a 3 to 2.5 reducer. Is one better than the other?

2) What size silicone vacuum lines would I need to connect the stock bov and the pcv lines back into the tid?

I've never seen anyone say to use a 2" reducer. The turbo intake is 60mm (~2-3/8") so it would be a difficult fit. A 2.5" reducer slips on and clamps down easily.

The stock BOV line is 3/4", the PCV line is 1/4".

Gee NZConvertible, your grasp of the Imperial measurement system never ceases to amaze me.

Vacuum hose to emission system - 6mm.
6mm = ~1/4"

I'm having trouble finding silicone vacuum hose in 3/4" id for the bov. Most of the stores only have up to 10mm.

Rubber heater hose works fine.

another question,
does this mean i should also get 1/4 and 3/4 inch threaded brass barbs as well? Also, by threaded barb i'm assuming its like the object pictured in this site. http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-...-pid-617C.html
