Bling, and maybe, a LITTLE more flow?

smooths out the air paith to and from the intercooler... its like polishing pipes or heads. the more boost you run the more effective this will be.

as for bling... I just got black ones

If you could look at your stock hoses and look down them you can see that the air pathway to the intercooler is like some sort of bumpy maze.

Then you look down say the samco, perrin, vishnu or any other aftermarket intercooler hoses and it is smooth.

It will help with flow and if you are thinking of going through stages it will really help you pull the horsepower from the car.

Replacing the Y-pipe will also make the turbo spool a bit more audible. Some sound bling to go with the looks.

Turbo inlet hose and airbox hose help in the same way.All three together can really drop your spool time down noticably and really smooth out the car under boost.
