Default Best fuel lines and Vacuum lines....

Taking the advice of the board I am going to replace the plugs, wires, rotors etc. As well as have the injectors cleaned, replace all the lines.

If money is not a issue what would you guys recommend for replacement parts, OEM or...

Many thanks

I just recently got these fuel lines….

Still have to install them. No hurry while the motor is out. As for the Vacuum lines?
Lindsey Racing has a kit that replaces the small vacuum lines with silicone ones. I have been using them with good results. The larger hoses, i.e.: from the ICV i have been using new OEM from Pelican Parts.

If you need to do the Venturi Delete:

I like the magwire ignition wires:

If money isn't a consideration, I would get the master silicon hose kit from Lindsey.

I'll let others speak to the other ignition parts. I stayed completely stock with those.

You can replace many of your vacuum lines with 5/16" fuel hose and 5/32" vacuum line from any auto parts store...very cheap. For the ones with metal fittings you can just cut the collars off with a small hacksaw (carefully) and re-use the fitting with a hose clamp.

For the specially formed vacuum lines, Lindsey Racing is hard to beat, they have a number of parts that are NLA.

+1 for both Rennbay fuel lines and Lindsey Racing vacuum lines.

The vacuum lines are are really nice - both my cars have them. You also get metal fittings in the kit, which is a huge plus.

I used the Rennbay deluxe kit for the main lines and for the jumper line I had Boxster GT on Pelican parts make me one.

I used all Lindsey Racing Vacuum lines. I could have gotten it cheaper from the parts store, but I have left supply and I use some of that to plumb my MBC. Totally worth it.

Thanks guys, I bought 345 hoses today from Lindsey with their Master Hose replacement setup, all black except for the Venturi delete which they were out of stock on and opted for Red to match the Performance wires I bought as well.
Got their turbo blanket and then ordered the light upgrade from rennbay.

Too be honest my 987CS and E30 M3 parts cost so much more than 944 parts this wasn't so bad considering. So my advice to you guys is buy parts for old BMws and new Porsches and your 944 will seem downright cheap

Thanks again to all that helped, I really like this board a lot. My car is getting picked up tomorrow and I will have it next weekend if all goes as planned.

Here is my CS so I can at least post something Porsche.
