Default Replacing vac lines

Im going to replace my vac lines soon. Are the vac lines ONLY the 3.5mm ones? Or are there larger diamater hoses too? I know the boost hoses are bigger ones like that come out of the turbo, IC and DV and stuff? But to do what i need to do, should about 5 or 6ft of 3.5mm silicon hoses be enough? Are there any other sizes ill need? I cant seem to find 3.5mm hoses and good clamps anywhere other than ecs tuning. Thanks. Also, if anyone has a picture of the locations of all the hoses that should be replaced that would be freakin awesome. I'll probably just replace them as I find them.

How many miles did you have when you did that?
