hi all bin recommended that i change the rubber hoses from the intercooler to the turbo as they seem soft n squidgy and im having a few running issues with the car. befor i fork out £100 is there any way of checkin that they are duff?? im bit confussed as to what is meant by delaminted hoses? the car chug's rattles n puffs out black smoke and acts like its going to stall. cheers

delaminated hoses is exactly what it sounds like. Imagine a hose within a hose, bonded together and the bond failing.

Hoses that are made like this are designed to have structural rigidity without losing flexability

Fitted ebay silicone hoses to mine to eliminate a possible leak seemed fine to me well shaped.
