Default Worth changing the I/C hose???

I've read that as part of the PPP package they change the I/C hose. Is it worth doing this with only exhaust mods on a blob eye WRX?

If you're planning on upping the boost a bit, then it's worth doing.
The standard corrugated plastic tube has been know to split before!

I'm thinking of fitting a Dawes Device temporarily so maybe that would be a good idea...anyone know where I can get a replacement pipe from? Anyone got a picture of the offending pipe?

Cheers

On the classics, as well as being stronger, the complete intercooler hose set makes the turbo slightly more efficient. ie you can turn the MBC down a tad and still produce the same amount of boost as it was producing using the OEM intercooler hoses.
