VI question: Is this MAP/baro switch large enough?

I found a MAP/baro switch on a Mazda MX3 V6. I saw a pic of a MAP/baro switch that someone had posted (ian maybe?) but I could not get a sense of how large or small it was. I was wondering what you guys thought of this one. It is sitting on a piece of regular 8.5x11 printer paper. The nubs where the vacuum lines connect are pretty small, the inside diameter is a little larger than that of a toothpick. What sort of inside diameters are people using who have already installed their VI?

Should work. The vacuum lines on Ian's car were super small anyway.

Re: VI question: Is this MAP/baro switch large enough?

I.D.: what are we talking, like two toothpicks?

Let's just say if 1/8" i.d. rubber tubing is too big to hook it up, it is probably too small. Ideally, you want something 3/16" i.d. tubing will be good for or slightly smaller than 3/16th inch. Too small is not good...

I used 1/8"....

And that Solenoid looks like it will work great. It doesn't appear to take much pressure for it to work...

It's about the same size as mine.
