Anyone know the diameters of the turbo/intake holes? I need to size up new tubing and don't have the truck near me.

Application is 1996 110 300Tdi.

I recently gained some help from local auto trade supply store. Experienced salesperson took one look at the hose I took in, went out the back and brought out a short length of fuel hose for I believe a caterpillar bulldozer. Fitted perfectly.

You could probably pick up a short length from a caterpillar service agent if you have one nearby

Hi Art

the diameter of the inlet manifold intake, and intercooler outlet is 48mm

We use silicon hose, Usually available from industrial suppliers. Lasts longer and doesn't get harmed by oil etc.
