NAPA hose stock..you will NOT blow them off. I Forget the size, just do an inside measurement and get them to cut it for you about 1/2" longer than you need. Cutting it is like cutting a radial tire. Most vendors here carry the colored ones i.e. Postons,Kirbans,etc.

If you buy black hd hose from some vendors it still has the NAPA name on the hose

if by hose you mean the adapters that couple the intercooler to the metal pipes, I got mine from Ramchargers. Blue silicon sleeves that wont dry and crack like rubber ones will. Looks nicer too.

We sell Gates green stripe hose for the intercooler connections. You need 2.5" hoses for the stock up pipe and 2" for the turbo to IC connection.

Been using these for 10 years without any problems.

If you're going to buy hoses, make sure they're silicone lined and NOMEX reinforced. Rubber and other materials hoses deteriorate when they become oily. They also grow in diameter and shrink in length under boost, whereas quality silicone lined and NOMEX reinforced hoses are more robust and do not. Losing a hose at 25 PSI is like setting off a grenade under your hood. That's one possible reason why you see dents in TR hoods from below.

Color-wise, choose black. Black doesn't show the dirt. If you buy blue you'll be cleaning them once a week. Plus, blue is gay...
