Turbosmart High-Quality Red 3mm Vacuum Hose in Convenient 3M Packs - TS-HV0303-RD Review

These hoses appear red in the picture but are actually orange. If you're like me trying to build something like a show engine by replacing ugly black hoses with red silicone to match the STI parts, then you'll find the hoses elsewhere where you'll be frustrated by how much the colors do collide.

Works great. I thought I'd need a long reel, but I ended up only needing about 3 inches of tubing. I forgot I have an electronic sensor, not a mechanical one. So the hose only had to go from my bypass valve to the boost pressure sensor. It was used on my 2002 WRX for the Greddy electronic boost sensor.

This is not a 3mm hose, not even close. Check out the photos above to explain what I mean. I measured with a digital ruler and then with a physical one. Both sets are higher. These hoses are massive in terms of precious millimeters. I checked the packaging to make sure they sent me the wrong ones. They didn't, and the packaging says 3mm tubing.

Amazing quality, very flexible but not brittle. Easy to attach plastic spikes, just zip tight or use any clips. Many things. I've removed the n249 on my GTI and replaced my entire boost/vacuum line with this, ran the boost sensor and fixed some vacuum lines on my bike and I still have extra ones! great stuff! mm
