Does anyone know if there's a chance that my 6/01 build MY '01 996tt could have the newer style hoses that I hear were upgraded for the MY '02? Is there a way for me to check just by looking? Thanks for any input.

Do you mean the intercooler hoses?

I mean all five boost hoses -- including the F-hose for the DVs. I see silicone versions for sale for about $1k, and many tuners recommend the silicone ones for modded cars with higher boost, but some say that the OEM '02 and later ones are fine. I'm planning on some mods, and I don't wan't to get stranded by blowing a hose.

Porsche added silver solder to the back of the detents. This now makes them solid so that they will not deform or distort and pop out of the retaining clips.. The updated hoses are "very good"
