    Silicon hose kits & turbo cores - which ones?

    Looking at silicon intake hoses for the D2 (10P - Td5), wondering if anyone has tried any of these? Some difference in prices, but the quality is what I'm after.

    And, since there is some play in the turbo shaft, considering this as well. Would prefer to buy from an Aus supplier, but they seem to be a bit thin on the ground!

    Red ones

    The red ones make it go faster, I think it's the red ones. Or is it the orange ones?

    orange is a hard to sell colour, green also, blue is the most popular colour with buyers

    I’m not keen on blue or any colour in fact - actually I’d buy black or BRG (british racing green) off you if you’d stock them Mario...

    LOL You know I had lots of stock of black ones thinking that it gave the engine bay a matching O.E hose look, but I found that not to be the case. I cleared them all out. All the punters asked for blue and only wanted blue, the theory I had was they wanted something to bling the engine bay so when they opened the bonnet it drew spectators to the new addition 'Blue', if they were black they would not have been able to show them off.
    Suppliers are also not really stocking black either as blue is the go.

    I like and wanted black but you Mario only had blue so blue it was

    Really at the end of the day the colour means nothing as they still do the exact same job
