[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 3 - upgrading fuel lines

Post by JD »

I'm looking at upgrading all fuel lines to 6AN when I get round to doing the fuelling upgrades (should get round to starting this bit next weekend, hopefully) and wondered what the best options were for these pipes or if all decent brands are much of a muchness in terms of price/quality.

Also, before I've stripped it all out and can measure, can anyone tell me what lengths I'll need?

PM the Affiliates - most of them will have made custom hoses.

Would be nice if there was a kit for this....I would go -8AN I think this is closer to the hardline diameter.

I used to make kits, and can still make the kits - but people didn't want to pay the price.

-06 is perfect size.

Internal bore size of OE is 8mm.

-06 internal hose size is 3/8". 3/8" = 9.5mm.

I'm on the lookout for something similar which saves me the hassle of fiddling around with -AN fittings myself. Ideally it would remove the hardlines completely and include the pickup, all lines, something for evap and a quantity of braided hose to be specified by the buyer.....
