Fitted the hose from SMIC to throttle body yesterday.
It's very tough, hard to bend, compared to rubber, and it has larger interior diameter. While the rubber hose inflated like a balloon under boost, even strengthened with plastic cable ties, the silicone hose seems much more solid.
After the fitment, driving under boost seems a bit smoother (someone accustomed with previous setup would think it had lost some boost pressure or got turbo lag, because the jerk under throttle almost disappeared).
Second hose is obviously from intake pipe to DV and will be fitted today. Third hose seems to be from intake pipe to N75... opinions please?
