Are they really necessary for the average turbo or are they really just for extreme high boost applications? Anyone end up "needing" them at the 600hp and under level?
I want to know.....kinda expensive (for me)if it's mostly unnecesary........

You have a Stage 3 FVD upgrade then I would def. say yes get them, sometimes they collapse under boost and you lose power but when you check them after driving they seem fine. Silicone hose's will prevent that. I dont know how many miles you have on the originals but I would (and will) change mine this hibernation period.
FWIW, its a piece of mind to say the least.

We do utilize our 5-piece boost hose kit for all of our high HP cars because the stock hoses are prone to cracking, splitting, or just blowing right off. If you are running close to a stock car, the need for aftermarket hoses isn't as great. However, you still can run into the situation where you could be leaking boost if you have a damaged stock hose. The stock hoses are made out of rubber, and we all know that rubber does not really stand up the elements like some other materials do. Our kit is a silicone kit and has been tested up to 950+ HP, and wouldn't you know it, we have them on sale this month!
Check out our sale section on the main Porsche page and let me know if you have any other questions.......
The other thing that I noticed is you have a 2001... well in 2002 they actually upgraded them slightly from the factory (since they were so prone to coming off) and even with less HP and a 2001 I would recommend them
