Just as the subject says. In an effort to combat my bad idling problem, I'm going through and replacing all my vacuum lines. Can the lines to the wastegate actuator be replaced with standard vacuum hose? Thanks.
 
Vacuum Lines

Hey I just replaced all my vacuum lines yesterday, and pcv anyhow, I used 1/4" fuel line, it's thicker and should withstand all that heat from the turbo better than a stnadard thin walled vacuum line. Get 3' of it, to replace it all, you will also need 2' of 5/32 and 2' of 7/32 regular vacuum line. Just be sure to do one section at a time so that the chances of getting something routed wrong are reduced. Also replace all of the clamps while you are at it.
