Never ran boost through them but have used them for coolant / induction piping and had no problems.

What size piping do you run on HDis anyway? I'll have some spare 57mm silicone and ally bends soon, looks like my SMIC is going to someone who won't need them.....

Definitely, that eBay shop always has items on discount. When you want to do a deal though, phone him. Business is always easier if you discuss on the phone rather than play email tennis...

Not too much to be honest. Would be barely noticeably more laggy as there is more volume to pressurise but not much to worry about
2" would be too small IMO
My FMIC piping is 2.25 so that's why I said it lol

As above normally go collect from dewsbury. Normally get discount for dirty hoses they can't sell via post!
