[T1 11JKE]

being thinking of getin the -
                                        forge diverter valve relocation kit?
                                        forge t.i.p?
                                        forge 7 piece coolant hose kit?
                                        forge 5 piece silicone hose kit?

but not to sure weather they will be worth the cost? what you tink lads?

get the boost hoses for sure as most are re-designed to improve air flow which is all good 

coolant isn't worth it unless yours are cream crackered

i want new boost hoses, just need to wait for the upgraded clamps

As Rhys says and the OEM ones tend to go hard and break / split ect from years of being heated and cooled  .

TIP is well worth doing

All IMO :-

1)  Save your money - DV works best nearer the turbo.
2)  Well worth the money.
3)  Only if you need them &/or want to dress up the engine bay
4)  Next on my list - These hoses have gone brittle on my car.
