If these hard pipes can help eliminate all or some turbo lag, then I'm very interested, so put me down for one.
One thing though, powder coating flakes as does paint. I'd be keen on getting a stainless or gal (but gal can flake to I think) pipe, I'd hate to have some paint or powder sucked into the turbo.

Powdercoat doesnt flake. its probably the most durable finish you can put on any material.
We will offer them in stainless anyhow, all depends what the customer wants.

Had a look at all this over the weekend. That large top hose is quite soft, I'd never really taken any notice before. The lower house out of the intercooler seems much firmer.
Does/should that lower hose be replaced as well???

most people do end up doing both, BUT the top one is the most important as its the hot side so it softens the hose up even more then it already is and therefor allows it to balloon even more so under pressure.
Im sure DieselTuner or someone will be able to explain it better then me.

^^ Nope, that makes good sense.
I found it interesting looking at all that turbo stuff. Looked to me like the outlet from the turbo flows straight into a pipe that bends back onto itself slightly, then it goes through the intercooler, then into and up that lower hose, then finally into the, I don't really know what I'm talking about, so I'm going to call it, the intake manifold.
Seems very inefficient, use a turbo to ram great amounts of air into the motor, but impede it by lots of bends and so on.
But then again, I'm sure they know what they're doing.
