Default Complete Hose Upgrade?

Hi all.

Before cracking on with my quest for powah, I wanted to replace all my engine bay hoses to shiny silicone.

Do you know of any firm/Ebay seller that produces a 'complete hose' kit? As in - rad, turbo, IC, the whole darn spaghetti lot of it?

Cheers bredrin.

Samco/Mishimoto or Roose motorsport no doubt do various sets if you want to spend serious money on named brands, plenty of other cheaper options out there but unsure of the quality of them

Quick look on Merlin Motorsport website and every hose set for a Hawk will set you back 700 quid ish plus another 100 quid for all the clips! Bloody hell ya gonna need deep pockets if you go down that route

Roose are a half decent hose (for the money) I bought some for my daughter's wrx ,50k miles later with no issues
Alternatively, stalk eBay like I did for a set of samco for my hawk, as long as your not bothered about the colour, I ended up with a full set of samco unused and a slightly used (not that you'd notice turbo inlet for less than £100

There are loads of hoses that are unseen, or not thought about, don't forget.

My car is a mix n match of of Ebay Subaru specific/Samco and Ebay silicone hose. I doubt where I'm at so far has cost me over £150.

IIRC every hose is now silicone apart the small water crossover pipe ones, and the 2 that are under the inlet manifold.

They're still a bit expensive though, and as per Samco, the top and bottom rad hoses are separate.

Don't get me wrong, the quality is decent; I had their hoses on my old Cav Gsi, they've just joined in the the RCM/Subaru tax.
