the oem are plastic so could break under higher boost levels hence the ppp kit includes a uprated hose in the price

The intercooler y hose flows significantly better than the standard plastic y piece. The turbo inlet hose flows better, and allows the turbo to spin up noticeably quicker (perhaps 4-5mph earlier in top gear)

I had my mota on a RR before and after fitment of Samco hoses (different days) and the figure with the hoses on was up 4 bhp You can draw your own conclusions of course it may have been the hoses or it could of been a host of other things
