You know, a while back I asked my local dealer about the factory line and I believe you get it in a roll and cut it to fit as needed. Correct?

You can buy rubber 5/32 vacuum line at your local napa in black for .50 cents a foot. You need about 15 feet at the most. Add in a couple of t connections. Save your money for the main factory lines (2 for ISV, 1 for brake booster, 1 for the OAS with the check valve).

just be aware that you should not use those silicone lines on circuits that control critical processes. IE: waste gate. Been there dont it, grenaded an engine because the line feeding the signal to the waste gate cut thru.
On the WG and fuel circuits I would use good quality rubber hose preferably with some reinforcement like cloth brading or even stainless if you want the expence and the bling.

There will be a complete silicon hose kit for 951's during next spring.
This kit will be made especially for 951's, so it's not the typical style "One-Size-Fits-All" type of kit. This kit will be also available in the USA and they will be sold by a well known company which is also a Rennlist sponsor.
More information will be available in January.

Use rubber line from the auto parts store, not silicone. Factory lines were hard lines, or rubber for the bigger ones.
