Hi,

Is it necessary to change boost hoses, or is it possible to reuse old hoses intercooler 2wd ?

Since the 4x4 intercooler is about an inch deeper, when i did the swap, i cut an inch or so off the length of my hoses.
I also had to trim part of the radiator (metal part where the intercooler fixes, on the left i think), so the 4x4 would sit down properly. Nothing major though.

good luck.
