Matt, I am surprised that you take this attitude to vacuum hose. I realize that the our WBXs don't pump down to 10^-6 torr, but the "vacuum" tubing at the FLAPS here in Middle GA collapses if not ice cold. The only decent stuff I have been able to find locally is some 3 mm and 5 mm from a now defunct import parts store. If I worked in a PChem lab like you do, who would want to go to the FLAPS? What are you using for lines from engine side of aux. air regulator to intake manifold? Same question for the larger stuff like between the breather tower and the throttle elbow?
