My car is still surging slightly and I suspect it's leaking boost. I'm a poor college student and just can't afford a boost gauge to find out, so I was thinking about just trying to replace any of the boost hoses that I easily could (ie, header to bailey dv, etc)...

Where can I get hoses and clamps to replace the cloth hose on the car? Think this will help my surging at all?

my dealership charges $12/meter for the braided hose. they charge $2 for the oetiker clamps.
i did mine last week b/c they seemed pretty cooked.

How hard was it to replace the hoses? And how many/which hoses did you replace?

I replaced the one that runs from the manifold to the BPV.(atleast 3' of hose) and the one the runs from the FuelPressureRegulator to the manifold(5 or 6 incher)
Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the clamps off. Some people reuse the clamps if you don't f them up too bad.

My stealer just replaced a hose under Audi Assured and my car is only 3 years old. If the OEM hoses only last 3 years, they can't be that good.

Any ideas on brand, where i can get some, etc?
