Samco hose was RE: [s-cars] Miss & whoosh

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

I agree, I have only replaced the X-Over to IC hose once and did it with a
stock hose.....I have 153k miles on a car runnning 23-25 psi setup.

I'm with you Mark - I'm RS2 spec and still running stock hoses. The
turbo to x-over and x-over to IC are newish and the IC to TB is
original.

I believe most of the failures are the x-over to IC because the oil is
trapped in the bottom bellows and softens the rubber from the inside.
