Default Turbo inlet pipe and y-pipe

Where are the best places to get the pipe that goes from behind the MAF to the turbo, under the manifold, and a 45 degree bend that goes from the y-piece on a top mount to the turbo?

Is standard the best or samco/silicone hose?

The STD hose are quite weak and can collapse/leak and are quite restrictive in there design. The samco item is a lot stronger,as well as being less restrictive, so are quite expensive. Worth trying eBay or pistonheads as they do come up occasionally quite cheaply,what model year is your car?

No it shouldn't need a tweak ,as it should only increase bhp by a small amount,it's main advantage is it's strength anda smoother airflow in to the turbo.
