I may pick up a set, about half of the intercooler hoses on my P80 cars are still original.

Can anyone comment on installing the do88 intercooler hoses? I expect they will work well, what I'm really wondering about is fitment, getting them installed: PITA or not too bad?

Yeah, I need to redo my cooling hoses, so this is a great time to go ahead and order some before winter!

I can't say anything for the intercooler hoses, but we put the do88 coolant reservoir hoses on my cousin's S70 and they were a little tight, but not too bad. It's silicone, so a little heat and a lot of patience will help out.

The intercooler is tempting.

I've got a set of older silicone IC hoses from FCP that were a nightmare to install, required far beyond "heat and patience" especially for the IAC one. Just looking to avoid that if possible.

Were those the "FCP Sport" hoses? I was looking at those, but I think I'll just get a RIP kit eventually since I have lots of other plans that will benefit from it.

This was like 6 years ago, I think FCP has changed branding (and probably sourcing too) since then. I am pretty sure these were the first silicone IC hoses they sold, good chance they have it right (or at least better) by now.

Knowing FCP, probably. My IC hoses are due for replacement anyway, they're getting rather soft.
