Default Changing All The Hoses!

I was thinking about changing all my hoses for Silicone ones as my rad hose went this morning, think it must be a sign!

I was going to do the Turbo Hoses, Coolant hoses, and intuction hoses.
Is it worth doing all of them?

If so where would be the best place to go to get the best price?

And has anyone got any pics of a fully Siliconed up engine bay please!!

Many thanks
Adz

The only sets places do are for either the WRX or STI, but im not sure which one would be the same for my car!

Mine is a V plate 99 Turbo 2000 Impreza! Can anyone shed any light on this for me???

I don't think there is any difference between an import and UK engine
as far as the hoses are concerned.

In that case it'll be the hoses for a V5 (1999) Sti

For the cost of it I don't think the induction hose is worth it for a road car. Maybe if you were building a tarmac burning, mega bhp mean machine it might be justified. I think it's close to £200 just for the induction pipe alone, I know there is quite a bit of work involved in making it. But I can think of more useful ways of spending that money on my car.

The induction pipe and MAF pipe are very expensive for what they are. IC kit is definitely worth it on a WRX/Turbo 2000, not so much on an STi which already has a better flowing Y-piece under the IC. If your rad hoses are perishing a set of Samcos isn't a bad investment at all to replace them.
