dumb question regarding vacuum lines
 
What size vacuum lines do I need for the wastegate off a 14b and a DSM BOV?

why dont you just take the wastegate to autozone and just find out which one matches and stop being lazy

Because I'm not buying the lines from Autozone, I'm getting them from this online store that'll throw in some free gaskets for my turbo. So are you going to not waste time and effort to write a meaningless post and help out or what?

ok do this call autozone and ask for the correct size of vaccum line you need for your blow off valve 1993 eclipse gst. and shouldnt the company you are buying from know the size if they have gaskets for the same turbo.

"Free" and "Gaskets" really are 2 things that shouldn't go together if you want the car to stay in one piece. I learned that the hardway with an ebay headgasket on my old SOHC

turbo gaskets are a little simpler and much less likely to fail than a headgasket.

But if they are throwing them in free with 16 cent a foot vacuum hoses, even I'd be a little worried.

It's a single piece of thin metal, nothing to screw up really.

Why don't you just look at the BOV and decide what size line you need. I think it would be 1/4" or so.

I can't imagine some place would give you free gaskets though. You will only be buying like $2 worth of lines at most.
