On 600HP cars and above, the hoses are ESSENTIAL, otherwise they'll pop out under boost and that's that With stage II cars some have them and some don't but in general we put them on the 2001s because the design was even worse on those than later years for the stock hoses.

If you want to do it really trick forget the sillicon and install stainless braided hard lines for all the vacuum hoses. These you screw on and will never leak or come off, plus they look awesome! Here is a pic of them on my old Supra which ran a 72mm turbo @ 35+psi

I got tired of the sillicon tearing, melting, and popping off. The hard lines are'nt even that much more money either.

silicone turbo boost hoses are the way to go for most of us with modded cars.
