Default Vacuum Line Replacement

I would like to replace all my vacuum hoses with a kit from www.hosetechniques.com . What size hose would I need to get to cover the replacement of all the vacuum lines? Also how hard of a job would this be to take on? Thanks!!

Yea or even just the samco turbo inlet hose and buy hose from ecs tuning for like 1.50 a foot. Samco makes some good stuff, i might be on that turbo inlet hose soon.

So those are the only lines I need to replace (the samco kit)? Man, the RX-7 has a lot of Vacuum lines. I wanted an RX-7 instead of an Audi but I don't think I could afford to keep the maintenance up on one right now. Maybe after I finish school I might tackle my RX-7 bug. I had a 1989 RX-7 Turbo II and loved every minute I had it. When turbos kick in on a RX-7 it is GodLike.

Yeah it only had one turbo. I have never had the pleasure of experiencing the sequential twin turbos (maybe some day soon I will, hopefully).
