Default Wastegate Plumbing Question!

Setup is Twin Tial 44mm Gates. I have a bunch of -6 AN Fittings and some -6AN Hose laying around. I'm thinking about Plumbing the Vacuum on the Wastegates with this stuff(Cuz it will look GOOD). Most Vacuum Lines are 2.5-3mm(Inside Diameter), This -6AN Hose is more like 5.5mm(Inside Diameter). Being that there is gonna be a long run from the Manifold, to Solenoid, to the Gates. Could this cause a Problem? It's been Raddleing around in my head and it seems it could Rob my Vacuum and possibley affect the reaction time with anything Vacuum refernced?
Thanks in Advance for any Advice given

why change what already works.

Use that -6 for a fuel filter replacement for an inline filter.

If you want some bling, the push locks are baller

It'll work fine, if you really want to use 6AN for something like that.

-6AN is ridiculous... I would go with -3AN. I would be concerned about a delay in the signal with that much volume in a vacuum hose.

FYI, -6AN is 3/8" which is around 9.5mm

Well that confirmed what I already knew. I will go for something smaller. I'm just tired of looking at $130+ worth of -6AN Fittings and Line lol... Thanks for the Advice
