i purchased a blue kit from them and the service via email and the fairly prompt service gets a +1 from me

I purchased a blue kit also. I'm not sure if its the same as smokey. Mine was a generic kit. It had hoses that the car never uses. Actually, I bought two kits because I didn't know if one would be enough. (I believe it was enough.)

i got the complete kit fo my car in black

kits just has rolls of different sized vacume line that you cut yourself, they provide plenty of extra tubing i still have several feet of hose left. it replaces all the hosing for the windshield washer sprayers, overflow, all engine vacume areas. and comes with a bag of zipties, wedge cutter, and cigar style hose cutter.

+1 i got more hose than i needed and looks clean too, just hard to keep clean cus its kinda got that silicone stickyness.

 

[smokey]

yeah its not the specific hoses, its just rolls of different diameters which you cut to length yourself

you can see a couple of the blue hoses in this picture along the plenumn and around behind the block
and like american jebus you can replace windscreen washer hoses and such

I purchased a kit for a non-turbo through Supra Store in the yellow and it looks good and was definately needed. I'll be getting a blue kit for my turbo soon. I also give a plus one. I have an open picture of my engine bay from a distance posted in Jeff's color code post.

I used the red HT hose for all my vacuum lines. You just have to cut it to length. Easy as pie and looks pretty good too.

I got the black HT kit. Its good, better than what was in there.

I, personally, would use HighTempSilicone because they are a vendor here, and support the MK3 crowd. Their silicone hoses are top notch and I will not use any other. (except maybe samco)

I went with different colors for different hoses. Sort of a color coding system. I love the HoseTechniques hose. It is WAY better than the Purosil hoses. I've never seen any HighTempSilicone hoses so I can't make a direct comparison there.
