Lower shores performance mbc

Hey guys I just got around to installing my lower shores performance boost controller and I have a few questions. What size vacuum hose do you guys use to fit the smaller diameter on the waste gate nipples of smaller turbos like(Mhi big 16g only about 1/8") to fit with larger one on the lsp mbc which is 1/4" I believe? Do you guys use some kind of 1/4-1/8 adapter or do you stretch that 1/8 hose to fit over the 1/4 nipple on the mbc? I can't get the 1/4 inch hose tight enough over the wg nipple or stretch the 1/8" hose no matter how much I pull the damn zip tie so it doesn't leak any suggestions.Thanks
Dunstan.....

I've not had any problems using silicone hose though others have.
If you really can't get it on with spit and determination you can always go to the vacuum/emissions section of any local parts store and find what you need.
 

So do you use a 1/8" and stretch it to fit the 1/4" fitting on the mbc or do you use a 1/4" hose and zip tie it down to the 1/8" wg nipple? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
 

Thanks Garfield that's the kind of answer I was looking for. Now time for a complete boost leak test....
