I've just put the T5 back on the road after smoking around in a Clio sport for a while, and I'd forgot about the boost issues I was having before.

I had a 304 map on it but sold it, and at the time it didn't like making full boost all the time, and even felt as if it was pulsating? I stuck a IPD BCS and changed the vac lines to and from it (correct orientation) but still to no avail, I've looked over the boost hoses and whilst I can't see anything obvious, as I'll be keeping the car a while longer I figured it'd make sense to change them for a piece of mind anyway.

Any suggestions on where to get a kit from? I don't want bright blue or anything, just nice and original looking.

Ben.

If you want standard look then you could get a complete set from Volvo, or by 2 or 3 metres of black silicon from ebay.
