What 90mph!! Really or are to taking the pee. Top speed is only just over 90 and doing that speed in a 4x4 ain't clever.
Other than that did you order the bigger clips to hold your silicone hoses on or stick with the standard Ones, If standard have they blown off or not?

3 of the pipes arrived an hour ago so got stright on with fitting






But while the cover was off i noticed this



just awaiting the last silicone pipe to arrive aswell but all the turbo pipes have been done :)

New hoses would make no difference to performance unless your old hoses had collapsed inside or were leaking. Old rubber hoses can "balloon" slightly under boost, but I'd seriously doubt you would feel it. The turbo can easily supply 300 cubic feet of air per minute at 18psi. A few cubic inches lost to a couple of ballooning hoses is nothing.
I suspect any improvements felt are simply a placebo effect.
 
Looks to me like you have a clogged up loo roll,,(CRANKCASE BREATHER FILTER)
get a Cyclone and fit it before you have more trouble that a bit of oil hanging around..
 
Seems Stratstone Hull have stopped selling on eBay, but get in touch with Cotswold BMW, and ask for part number 11127799367

They sponsor some BMW forums, and do discounted prices for forum members, used them plenty before in the past. They should be ok with doing postage

01432 375564 or email partshereford@cotswoldgroup.com seems their dedicated parts site is down

Whatever you do though, don't buy a copy part to save a tenner, the BMW part comes with a 2yr warranty as long as you keep the invoice, and the customer service on warranty is second to none, often they'll replace and fit the replacement themselves within the warranty period, completely FOC, even on a £10 part, which given main dealer labour rates were £95 p/h +vat last time I got work done, isn't bad!
