T3ase. good point i forgot about that one. actually what i did. since i was replacing all the hose for the system. there is a plastic splice between the hose that comes out of the engine compartment and the hose that goes to the hood. i used that splice and just put it as close as i could to the washer tank with out removing the bumper cover. cant really see it. (i know it was hard to understand, cause i was hard to explain.t3ase said:
It's the same kit... it's universal. Don't listen to mindless complaints either. There are rumors floating around that the kit doesn't fit OVER the hosing that's already there... well no s***! It's supposed to replace it, not cover it up. It works fine if you replace the hosing thats their already (vacuum lines, windshield washer fluid, CAI hose, etc etc. You can even cut off the cheap plastic covering the wires and split the hosing and put it over that. I'll take some pics of my engine bay as soon as I finish running just a bit more line.
so I going to order my hose today from hosetechniques tonight, I just want to make sure so I order the Protege 5 kit for my MSP??? and I was wounderning Protege 5 it's not turbo charged, how can the hose in the engine bay be the same?? sorry I'm a noob =(

the turbo doesnt effect what kind of hoses are under the hood really. it might effect how many hoses you have though. here is my car with the Hose Techniques kit on it.

Cool, this sounds like exactly what I want to do. When you're done, be sure to post those pics & let me know how much of each wire you used so I know what to order. I would ideally like to replace as much of the crappy stock hose as possible.aiken said:

on mine i used every hose, except for some of the 6mm (i just split it and put it on the a/c lines to replace the ugly black covering.) but i do have a little extra hose use from the EBC, that and I covered up the hard line going to my boost gauge, there are a few hoses I didnt get to replace on my car though.Black Majik MSP said:

OK, I guess I could do that & then assuming there is more hose to be replaced when I'm done, I could then just order more of what I need.freekwonder said:
