As the title says. I'm gonna buy some silicone hoses for my GTS-t, and haven't had the time this week to crawl under it and look for them. There should be three right? https://www.prohoses.co.uk/product/skyl ... -hose-kit/ I tried look for a tutorial or a how-to and couldn't find one, maybe I'm blind. Help!

Those look like them. They run from the cylinder block under the intake manifold behind the cylinder head to the turbo side of the firewall and are a royal PITA to work with. While you have your hands under the intake feel around for all of those little specially shaped hoses under there and contemplate what a bastard any of them would be to replace when they blow and be afraid. Be very afraid.

Okay lol. I just took a look and wow, you are 100% right. Those hoses look near impossible to replace omg. I was contemplating getting silicone ones because I'm replacing the top and bottom radiator hoses but, now I don't know. I might take on the beast and from looks of it, it might take me a full day to get the old ones out and the new in. I'll try using a mirror tomorrow in the sun light to see if I can see where it connects.

I found that closing my eyes allowed me to work better because i couldn't see the %$#^ anyway, it seemed like my sense of touch improved. A nice garage or shady spot, a few adult beverages, some good tunes and no pressing time limit helps too.

I'm really hoping that mine has one of squeeze clips. But, with any luck it probably has a screw on type and I'll have to find a way to MacGyver it. Oh well, anyways, thank you for the info. When the hoses come in I'm gonna have mixed feelings of joy and anger lol.

I just took off my manifold and replaced all of them. It was a pain in the azz. with hindsight I should have waited because now I am pulling it and building it.
