You can buy a full size intercooler for that price if you look,  which would be better.

I asked him if the hises are genuine Forge.
He answered;
no dents / brand new and as far as im aware these hoses are part of the pack so are genuine yes ..This is a very good kit which comes with everything you need to fit thanks
He also wrote this;
I'm opening up a shop in South England so have more than one item of each

They are obviously not a genuine Forge item, they're from china the same as most other stuff on eBay.

For that money i would definitely go with the full size replacement as Jay mentioned. i have one and it works well

Anyone received one yet? Thinking of taking the plunge. Most prob fake but not seen any black ones stamped with forge available from the usual china sites.
