Good learning curve tho
Measure up lengths and bore and get some good silicon hose's - doesnt need to be samco there just the expensive 'prada' of hoses
Oh and stronger clips too - ask AK where he buys his

Nah, ive got silicone hose, but go for metal ones mate, as theyre stronger. Only about £50 aswell i reckon.
Lee put that turbo bit on when the engine went in, why dya ask? you not got one?
