silicone turbo hose kits.

I'm about to buy a TIP and i'm thinking of buying the 5 piece turbo hose kit too, my questios are

1) apart from making the engine bay a bit better looking are there any benefits from having these pipes in silicone because the oem ones are quite thick

2) the small section of the 5 piece is that the one on the pancake pipe?

3) where does the one with the 90 degree bend go?

Thanks in advance

90 degree bend will be the turbo to charge pipe hose, benefits are they last longer than the soft oem hoses and will hold the boost slightly better, and make it look pretty as you said.

usually the set is pancake pipe hose, hose from dv to charge pipe, turbo to charge pipe, inlet manny to intercooler and i think the other piece is n75 to charge pipe hose.

Thanks James, exactly the answer i was looking for

careful with the pancake hose, seat made it pancake shaped to stop rubbing on the wheel, the replacement ones arent pancake shaped, so ensure its not too near the wheel when you fit it mate, and make sure all jubilee clips are up nice and tight...
