Me too!
I used it on the Expansion tank overflow and window washer lines as well as some other areas... its hard to describe but it just feels like VERY high quality stuff eh!?

Oh yes! It certainly feels "quality". I got 9 metres of the stuff, so now I can go totally overboard!. Just trying to find some other hose stuff too to make the engine bay feel like it's finished, but can you believe how hard it is to find 3" to 3-1/2" turbo silicon? I can tell you now that Samco don't do it. Shame on them!. The only place I've found so far ships to US only. Oh, and I priced out to replace some other of the main lines in samco. I had about 6 lines listed, plus a few couplers (IC pipes, MAF and so) and some clamps, and it came to £800!!!!!!! I think I'll leave that one for a while!

I went with the Lindsey Racing Hose in Blk because i bought there venturi update kit. It seems to hold fine, but time will tell. Samco and MySwiss have really nice kit as well. Make sure you purchase silicone hose though it will last a lot longer.
Quik question, what size and type of hose should i be using for the wastegate to IC pipe?
Thanks

Found one. atp turbo in the states. now for a 89mm or 3-1/2" T-piece for the BOV. This just gets harder!
Any idea what size the IC pipes need? The pipes to the IC are the same size, but the pipe-turbo is smaller, and the pipe-TB is larger. Damn these germans and their non-standard sizes!
