I found a nice little hole in one of my vacuum lines that I think has been contributing to my problems with keeping blower pipes together. I did some quick searching and found some companies that make silicon vacuum lines. Are they any good? What's the best stuff to replace all my vacuum lines with?

When I just installed the meth kit, they had me use the same tubing that the meth injects for boost reference. They said for lower horsepower cars you can use vacumn tube but for higher horsepower cars they recommended the nylon tubing. Here is what I ended up using. Its the smaller one in the pic.

I am ordering this tubing for all of my boost tubing from the turbo to wastegate to boost controller. What I like about these the most is that all the fittings for the wastegate, blow off valve and boostcontroller are all 1/8npt.

They should work with your boost tube and blow off valve setup. Check to see if the hose barbs are threaded 1/8npt. There are other options in the list if they arent.

If they are not multi-ply as the hose connections they tend to inflate a little but won't crack easily. I use hosetechnique's (silicon) ones and they have been holding nicely.
