Replaced Greddy turbo hoses/reducers/clamps
I plan to up the boost soon and I decided to checkout the condition of my reducers/hoses. About half of them were cracking although none had cracked all the way through yet.
I replaced all the blue hoses and reducers that connected the piping for the Greddy turbo kit. I purchased the new ones from http://www.hightempsilicone.com/ , the total bill was around $150.
I've only had my kit 7 months and there was noticeable wear/tear on the reducers/hoses. The worm clamps bit into the silicone and there were cracks on a few, even on the inside. The new clamps I used are T-clamps and do not bite into the silicone like worm clamps.

I'll get the shopping list together and post.
The reducer on the pipe going down from the throttle body was alittle too big. I believe they were out of the correct size on all colors (2.5 to 3). I got 2.75 to 3 and made it work.

Interesting find. Did you contact Benny to get his opinion?
I wasn't impressed with the kit hoses to begin with and used silicone ones from HoseTechniques instead. Nice to know I made the right choice.

No, I didn't talk to Benny.
I read a thread where the puerto rico member's reducer split open when he increased the boost (10psi?). So I decided to check mine out.

Diagram of couplers/reducers below. The numbers in parenthesis would fit better than the ones I got.
If you want to replace the 3 hoses on the air intake , you'll have to measure those yourself. I didn't replace those since they're not pressurized. Also, I relocated my filter behind the bumper using the websites intercooler 12" hose.

How did you clamp the intercooler hose to the intake filter? And is that a 3" or 3.25" ID?

This is a highly recommended mod for the stock greddy kit.
Mine also burst: http://proxy.searchirc.com/turbo/brokencoupler2.jpg
I tried to order from HTS, but they are out of transition hoses. I ended up going with MazworxRaceSupply.com (Located in Orlando).
Plus all the t-clamps came up to a total of $130 including shipping.
Edit: I replaced all hoses and all clamps, including clamps on the intake. So I spent around 200.

In case you were wondering... I decided to replace everything including the vacuum hoses and came across this.

you can get it here:
http://hightempsilicone.com/category/vacuumhoseviton/
They cost about 5x more than silicone hoses...
I wouldn't bother. The vacuum hoses aren't in locations where it gets really hot.
I did buy pure silicone hoses (red), cost me about $50. It looks great.
