How much vacuum hose for single-turbo FD?
If I wanted to replace the vacuum hose on a single turbo FD, roughly how much vacuum hose and in what sizes should I buy?

Ok, fair enough. From memory on mine there's the wastegates, the bov, the fpr and the brake booster. [edit; and MAP reference]. I used 1/4" fuel hose because its tougher. The brake booster is a bigger size though. And heat sleeves on anything remotely near hot exhaust bits. Also of lesser importance the charcoal canister hoses.
But its all stuff (except maybe the sleeves) that you can get at local auto-parts store so probably easier to wait till you are there.
BUT, because i've seen your other thread, if it was me, I'd be going over that whole car and be prepared to change out all fuel hoses, along with probably cleaning every electrical contact and ground connection and a million other things.

I just bought 25ft of 3.5mm silicone vacuum line from boostcontroller.com. I think it was .89 cents a foot.
Better to have too much than too little. You always have extra for adding something that needs a manifold pressure reference.
Also pick up some brass T's so you don't have the plastic ones fail on you and cost you a motor.
