I know there are other unbranded alternatives. But ebay is probably where you will find it cheapest.

The Samco turbo intake hose can be gotten from Lateral Performance or Roger Clark Motorsport. But it'll be well over £200!
Viper Performance ones, like the Samco, have the multiple ply and the reinforced steel bands - but they are cheaper (c.£165 IIRC). API Dave gave these the thumbs up i.e. they shouldn't collapse.
You want the std 56/57mm (2.25") diameter version (which will fit the VF28 entry).
Have you checked the classifieds on here - you just might get lucky...

i just spoke to a guy over the phone and he said all the pipes i have on the td04 i already have installed will be ok to use on the vf28. i hope so as sound expensive to replace.

Yeah sure.
But whilst 'you're in there', just check the turbo pipe and all it's attached pipes for overall condition - 'cause at 11+ years old, some may have gone brittle/got cracks in. Same goes for the IC Y-pipe!
Don't mean to teach you to suck eggs, but you will be remapping this new VF28 on EcuTek (or Simtek or other), won't you?!
If you're also decatted, Walbro, new plugs, etc., then when remapped, you'll go from 211bhp to c.310-330bhp!!!
