Hey guys, just wandering what size vac hose ya'll use with your portys. I'm running a diamondback stormchaser with 25 ft inch and a half. Im about to add a booster to it, but the booster takes 2 inch hose. Should i convert my set-up to 2 inch hose, or just add on to the length of inch and a half??

Im tring to convert my equipment so i can run 100 ft. from my van. Most of my clients are small residental. I figure 100 ft will suit me just fine. I didnt know if i should just extend my 1.5, or convert to 2 in. |

As I understand with the vac-booster you should go 2" and you will be able to run 100' with a vac-booster. Planning on the cross-america unit?

If you are planning on running 100 ft with a porty, I would definitely use 2" hose and a vac booster
I run TM's and a porty. No more than 25 feet of 1.5"on the porty

Thanks guys, and Duckcountry, yes the booster im going to add is a coss-american mitey-one hybrid turbo. I understand that is not a "booster" but i was told it could be used as one, and im getting a good price on it.
