Samco hoses
I've just bought a couple of these and on the back of the packet it shows the maximum working pressure for the various different sizes of hose.
The one in bold covers what most people would use for their boost hoses. Now correct me if I'm wrong but 2 Bar (29 odd PSI) of boost isn't all that uncommon in the the cossie tuning world which would make them unsuitable for those engines ?
I'm sure I've read a few threads on here recently about boost hoses splitting/exploding, is this why ?

up to 25mm: 5 Bar
28-41mm: 4 Bar
45-60mm: 3 Bar
63-102mm: 2 Bar
28-41mm: 4 Bar
