Hi all, I took the intake piping off my TT over the weekend and discovered that the standard hoses were quite swollen on the inside, restricting flow to a decent extent.
I would recommend anyone still using the factory hosing to inspect theirs and replace it with new hosing.
Here is a pic of one of the hoses (the one running from the front turbo to the T-piece), but the hose between the T-piece and rear turbo was worse than this one, unfortunately I forgot to take a pic of that one but I will upload it soon.
I just went to bunnings and bought a hose meant for 50mm PVC piping which came with the clamps aswell for $6 and it fit well.

Hey Michael, mine were worse than that i had 4 big lump's in each of mine. Just show's how hard those turbo's are sucking that air in to deform those rubber piece's like that.

, interesting to know how much they would have affected performance.
