I think when they say pressure environments they mean more than the pressure in the turbo charged environment. I asked the local hose and coupling store and they said its fine and is the application the hose was mostly used for. This hose is MUCH more sturdy than the LR stuff.

Also, is there no need for hose clamps to crimp down the end of the hosing on to whatever it is attached?
I was wondering this but had forgotten to ask.

Looks like only one place does! lol well they are the distributors, they probably supply many others but there is a starting point.

The USA distributor is "Forge Motorsport", although, when you look at their website, they look more like a retailer than a distributor. Their website is http://www.forgemotorsport.com/.

I am slowly replacing all my hoses in samco. A specific kit would be many hundreds.... I think Tommo looked at it at one stage, never heard the result though.

Haha, you started it jerky 
Now i am having thoughts of powdercoating another intake white Not sure about the PORSCHE script, i may paint that black to match the fuel rail. Definetly love the white though. Eventually the cam tower and timing belt cover (small metal one) will be powdercoated white, since i doubt the paint will last looking good that long.

Hey I wanted to paint my fuel rail black, how do you take the fuel dampener off?
Yeah paint would be a bad idea in the bay...
PS!!!! My brother got me some special powdercoat cutting liquid today to take out any black plastic marks etc. I got a couple on my IC pipe when I was screwing around. Will keep it looking klike new. Its actually amazing how clean the pipes stay and clean up with just a rag eh?!

Um, i just unbolted it. There is a jam nut that holds it to a hole in the rail. You remove the long fuel line where it attaches and you will see the nut. I actually took the wire brush to the damper to shine it up a bit while it was off as well.
