They are stronger than the OEM hoses and can cope with higher boost pressures if you car gets remapped.

I paid about £70 for my turbo hosing, debating whether I should get the coolant kit or not?

Standard intercooler hoses expand under turbo boost inducing lag and a slight loss of pressure. samco or similar are made of much stronger material which virtually iliminates this expansion.(I think!!)
