local motorfactors.
the pukka stuff has the overbraid and looks a bit like fuel line. but the normal rubber stuff's more than up to the job, and won't fail split like that cheap[ silicon stuff will.
seen more thana few cossies with boost issues all caused by using that cheap shit that splits in 5secs

Mine has been on for over 6 months with no problems, and it gets hotter under the bonnet than my cossie ever did!
