Gates all the way.I dont really trust anything from OBX but C'mon how can they not get radiator hoses right lol

 

Why not OEM? I'm confused why having a turbo makes any difference in what radiator hose you use.

 

^ this would be my inclination too. Except for the bling factor.

just get oem.

nothing against you, but what's with people buying parts off ebay?

 

new oem? or use old ones?

 

Depends on the condition of them. Personally I wouldn't go out to a junkyard and get used ones. If they are currently on your own car though and aren't cracked or in just generally poor condition then I'd use those. Or just go to AutoZone and get some new ones for your car...I don't think they are expensive there.

Not trying to knock your purchases or your wants, but in reality spending anything more than what you would on new AutoZone hoses is just a waste of money. The super expensive hoses (i.e. Greddy etc) aren't going to make a single bit of performance difference. Well it would actually make you go faster since your wallet will be lighter.
