    Replacing a majority of engine bay piping whilst my engine is out, and i was wondering, what quantity and size of pipings i need to replace?

    I know there are 4mm, 6mm and i think 8mm pipings...

    How much pipping and what diameter is needed?

    Also the 50mm air intake piping, which i want to replace, for the air intake.
    On the stock air intake system, the little bit of plastic that branches off the stock intake pipe, left hand side, is that necessary, because in some hard pipes, there are no branchings and others there are? :confused:

    So 50mm silicone piping straight from my AFM to my T.B's will work just fine?

    Also what pipes (eg diameter and lengths) do i need for the engine bay?

    Like fuel lines, arv, air, ect

    Hope that is the correct systems :confused:
