I'm looking to replace my actuator pipe on my TTE Turbo. It's a Garrett T25 turbo. Does anyone know the internal diameter size pipe that is needed?

It's around 2 to 2.5mm, measure the nipple at each end and look up samco pipes.

I'm not with the car mate. I'm in London. I want to order some pipe for when I go back up to the midlands and its there for when I get back.

I know it's pretty right from when I removed it the other day. I just failed to reassure it  s:( :( s:(

Typically on the PE Turbo, Mass, and C2 kits it's 2 or 2.5, just depends how long it is.
I'm hoping someone comes along a and responds with "It is X mm".

2.5 seems pretty small. I remember the pipe being around 12mm outer. I can't find anything of those sizes  s:? :? s:?

I think mine is 4 - 5 mm I can check in the morning, but I couldn't say if its the same size as yours.

My guess it was about 3-4mm. I've searched online but I can't seem to find anything

6mm is enormous for that job!

It's a pretty tight fit over the nipple nic. It looks like the pipe in the TTE fitting instructions. I have however measured it with digital callipers

6mm is not enormous at all imo, if you have a tiny pipe feeding the actuator then you're going to get actuator lag, and introduce overboost.(a good way to achieve it if you want it, or to use a lonnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg pipe)
