Thanks... can't wait.
There is clearly a demand for stainless steel or aluminium hoses, yet very few people seem to have them. I also tried M.O.M. with the same outcome as you. I then contacted Chris @ Turbo Kraft - he with was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and told me that stainless steel hoses were somewhat of an overkill for my application. He was kind enough to send me a detailed email with an alternative method which I never went ahead with as there was a bit of work needed (e.g. drilling out the threads in the aluminum throttle body housing).
I left it for a while, yet the amount of times my hoses have torn or popped-off tells me that I could really do with something more resilient than what I have now.

Sorry Guys...with regard to M.O.M., the shop has fully shut down and the parterns have split up. Hopfully the solution alternative you've found will be ideal for your application. Look forward to your follow up post.

My turbo hoses have been popping off on the bottom. I replaced all of my clamps with Breeze clamps and now everything seems to be fine.
Here is a picture of the stock hose clamp (right) next to the Breeze clamp.
The hose clamp installed. It made it alot easier due to the fact that I had the rear bumper and the muffler mounting bracket off at the time.

Doug - I have a spare pair (for the intercooler end) which I can send you but only if I can find them - we've just moved house and there are still a lot of boxes to open... I'll try to look this weekend.

That's right, the one for the intercooler end is CT300
