Upgrading Vacuum DV lines

Hello,
I am currently running the Forge DV's on my N54. I am looking to upgrade the vacuum lines off them. I am currently just using the stock lines which i believe are 3.5mm.

I was thinking of getting the Bov adapter from Burger Motorsports. However the fitting says its 1/4?
Is anyone else using the Forge Dv and have upgraded there vacuum lines? I was thinking even a 4 or 5 mm would be fine..however i am unsure if that will be too large for the forge nipples and too small for the BMS adapter nipple.

Any help in this area would be great. Thanks

I think yes they are fine, I dont have issues like running a tail with stock lines. However, i did stumble across a thread where some DV users found slightly upgrading the lines made their Dvs more responsive.

My lines are old and gross. I just ordered some 4mm lines(only slightly bigger) and they should fit fine. Going to keep it on the stock nipple too.

thanks
