Have just replaced the above with some blue samco ones, however, on removing the turbo pipe (l shaped one below intercooler) I noticed that it is already silicone and appears to have a heat wrap on it. Do you think I would be better changing back to the origional or will the samco one be fine.

 

considering the original one cost loads more than the samco I'd swap it back if i were you.

Thats what I thought so I will do.

 

Just beacuse it cost more doesnt make it better?? Personally I'd stick on the new samco hose and flog the OEM item to some sucker that will pay for it.
