Default Vac lines etc

Im planning on installing my ko4 or getting it installed, and ive been guessing that i have a boost leak and well at this point i was wondering how many lines/ tubes are connected or affect the boost? Maybe i should just replace them all. 6 years and 110 k do their toll of damage.

It is always a good idea to change a cars vacume lines once they start to get stiff... They can crack or worse break... Make sure you replace them with silicone hose... I have a little over 90K on my car and might change mine for peace of mind, and my car is naturally aspirated...

Better yet, how much am i looking at for changing all the hoses? I know it was 600 or so on my bros blazer but i couldnt begin to guess on a turbo motor like mine. And besides that is their like a package i can order with all the hoses, so i can replace myself, because like i said, im going to take my car apart when i put in the turbo. Might as well get it all done.

I have yet to find a kit for the Audi, you can do it the hard way and measure out all the hose and purchase that many feet of it... Hopefully someone here can reply with how much you will need... Silicone hose sells for a bitundertwo dollars a foot... If you dont get a reply here for how many feet you need you can try calling ECS tuningand they might have the answer for you...
