Default Forester Cross Sports 2006 - boost solenoid vacuum hoses

I cleaned out my boost control solenoid at the weekend after an unfortunate oil overfilling incident (don't ask!). Drained off the extra oil and cleaned out with carb cleaner which has sorted out the immediate problem of sticky BCS.

However... I noticed that the vacuum hose which runs from the t-piece to the solenoid seems to be in poor condition (the rubber seems to be breaking down on the outside) so I think it would be sensible to replace this and may as well do all of them at the same time. It's not actually leaking or cracked at the moment, but would be unfortunate if it failed.

As it's a JDM car I have normally managed to find part numbers for things using the Subaru EPC site with the VIN number, but I am struggling to find a part number / supplier for these and just wondered if anyone can help? Ideally just a like for like replacement rather than a £100+ silicon set or similar. I could probably make one up from appropriate sized piping, but they are different diameters at each end with a "step up" size of tubing at the BCS end and one of them has a 90 degree elbow so ready made would be easier probably.

Engine is the EJ205 so a lot of parts are just the same as an Impreza WRX, but not everything

Thanks! That's helpful - doesn't actually have the Cross Sports, but once I figured out it's listed under "Air Duct" rather than Turbocharger I can pull part number off the Subaru EPC site and see if I can track one down

Thanks Don - sorry, I seem to be having some browser issues, when I looked at your post it just ended "but also..." and wasn't showing the image, but just checked on my phone and I can see the image with the part numbers. Thanks, that's really helpful!
