Got Boost Hoses?

I just wanted to let you know that the EVO boost hose kit is now cheaper than the original 1375 and now $995

I'm finding more and more that anything (especially 2001s) that's a stage II or above will eventually need these. If the stock hoses haven't yet popped out they'r likely going to and even if they haven't they still _bleed_ boost. Right now we've got the usual red or black ones but I did want to gauge the interest on perhaps having BLUE ones as well.

Alex,thats so weird!!
Mine popped out today for second time and i was online looking for silicone hoses and checked at fabspeed and evo and your right i just order Evo for $995
I want to tell everyone out there i had my second apointment with the dyno today and the hose popped out on the dyno ,put it back in and did the dyno ,car was almost 60hp less than my last dyno 3 days ago.I ordered the silicone hoses as soon i went back home,(overnight shipping)
took out the hose from the car and found out the o-ring was missing.
My boost from 1.1 was only 0.5 max
i cant wait to put the new hoses and go back to finish the dyno!!!
