    The replacement intercooler hoses?

    They are the exact same size and shape as the OEM hoses. They are just a more durable silicone material that won't expand under boost. The kit will run $225 and will be offered in Black, Blue, and Red.

    The radiator hoses will be the same diameter as stock, and also offered in Black, Blue, or Red. No pricing on those yet.

    The piping included with the front mount intercooler kit will be 2.25" on the hot side and 2.5" on the cold side. We will likely only offer black for the hose couplers with that. No pricing on that yet.

    that BOV is really well priced, and piston based it much more durable.... might have to do it up.. does the spring kit include a OEM pressure spring? I don't want to raise my boost, just run OEM pressure.

    The valve will include different springs capable of accomodating 5 to over 30 PSI if necessary, so yes, they will be perfectly compatible with car making stock boost.

    Just curious, but why would you include springs for only 5 PSI when we make three times that stock?
    Just a generic spring kit, I'm guessing?

    I was trying to figure out why you'd need a 5 psi spring... but couldn't come up with anything...

    The GC currently comes with a 4lb spring, so even 5 is an improvement

    We include the same set of springs with almost all of our valves, to try to accomodate all possible scenarios.

    That is just the lowest cracking pressure of the softest spring.

    Well if the stock is a 4psi spring, and we still generate 14+ lbs of boost, then it makes sense for the lowest spring to be only a slight improvement, and then you have the others for higher boost.

    I assumed that meant peak psi, not initial cracking.
