Boost Hose Kit upgrade

[DaveZtoA]

What is everyone’s thoughts, opinions and experience...

Deciding on if it’s a necessary to upgrade our OEM boost hose kit to say the Mountune? Are the OEM ones that bad and what real benefits would it provided to upgrade? Pros and Cons of staying with the OEM or upgrading?

Appreciate the help

imho, after reading a ton of feedback already on the forum here, not needed. I only upgraded the intake, crossover and hot-side charge/J pipe.

Absolutely no need for them, they are a waste of money imo. I'm running a hybrid that peaks at 29psi on all stock piping with a whoosh v2 intercooler. I doubled up some clamps in two spots that's common to blow off and that's it.

Good to know and thanks bro. Which locations are common to blow off? You were able to get another clamp on those locations? So kept the original clamp and added one more?

If your stock turbo I doubt this is even necessary. I never had one blow off.

By chance do you know the size clamps to get?

That really depends, my hotside boost hose was flexing and deforming under boost after I changed the turbo. Hot weather and high humidity might have done the rubber in earlier I guess. Car had around 38k when I swapped them for Whoosh hoses.

Now on a stock turbo there would probably never be any issue.
