Default zpi stage 0 install vacume lines

I tried searching but came up blank. I am installing my ZPI stage 0 kit tomorrow what do I use for vacume lines? Do I just go to home depot and buy 1/4 rubber tubing? Is there anything else I should know before going into the install?

You can get automotive vacuum hose from the auto parts stores. Kragen, Checker, Autozone, etc. Good luck.

Any automotive store has them, just make sure you get the right diameter.

for you blow off valve, and boost gauge, they should already come with really thin vacuum lines, i think plastic.....you get some vacuum lines with the kit, but good to go to a store and get another 6 ft more, cause you might want to route the lines in your engine bay however you want......i did this install on my car, so ask away and i should be able to help....

take the oil fittings, and go to like home depot or autozone, etc....and find one that fits....i forget exactly cause i had lots of sized hoses in my garage, also remember to get small clamps, so you can securely fasten the ends of the vaccum lines.....or just call zpi tomorrow and talk to sean or kenny, and they can tell you the exact size...

We normally just zip tie the vaccumm lines on there buddy. Make sure they fit snug and stay away from the cheaper hoses.


Also, when your finished...don't forget a boost leak test. PM me or call me
