Default Rubber bits

Hello.
In recent years my old turbo has taken a back seat to two wheels. However I want to use it more now having given up a company motor. Mechanicaly it's pretty much fine despite ten years of boosted wrong pistons. However I realistically need to replace all the engine bay hoses due to age, has anybody done this recently/know any good suppliers? I've not priced it up yet but I'm guessing close to a grand?

There are silicone hose kits that are decent. I think I got one on ebay. However I find the rubber on these cars holds up remarkably well and suggest just changing a few vacuum lines or anything you see that's deteriorating.
What was the effect of the "wrong pistons" ?

Lindsey sells complete sets. As mentioned, the rubber hoses lasted this long so no reason not to use them again. I went with silicon set and they are a pain to install because they are much thicker. I’ve actually replaced a few with rubber when removing and installing engine. I kept the ones that are near a lot of heat. I also found that they tear on the inside when installing them if done incorrectly. Again, they are a pain.
