Um... everything on that page is vacuum hoses... no coolant. Which is it you need? I don't know of any place that sells a full coolant hose kit.

If shopping for vacuum lines I'd price out buying the hose from siliconeintakes.com.... I've bought a lot from them in the past and they're very reputable, very high quality product and their prices are typically much better than most other places.

I've never heard of the shop you linked to... do some research to make sure they're OK before buying; There are shops that sell colored vinyl which is not acceptable.

If you are looking for vacuum hose here's a guide so you can be sure to order enough. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/TechTips/vacuum_hose.aspx The guide is for the GTE, so if your car is a GE you need to add 5 or 6 feet of 4mm hose. 4mm can be used in place of 3.5mm without issue. Place a small zip tie on the end of EVERY hose connection to help clamp and seal the line.

very informative thank you. the coolant hoses are as old as the car. and seem to be cracking one by one.. I replaced one just last week and now I need to do another so I figured I would knock them out all at the same time. I did a search for 7mgte Coolant hose kit and that's what popped up. one of the blue hoses in the picture is the one that I needed to replace. But thank you for taking a look. I guess I need to replace them one by one. to bad

and yes I would not mind replacing my vac hoses also.

The coolant return from the turbo? The blue one which is connected to the top of the thermostat housing tower? I wouldn't use plain silicone hose there... you need something with a woven core on coolant lines.

yes indeed. coolant line ought not be replaced with cheaper versions..

I mentioned that because it *looks* like regular silicone hose there and over at the throttle body's coolant lines.

I just went to AAP and bought some lengths of hose of different sizes so I don't have to dick around with this any longer. Ill eventually replace them all. I just wish someone offered a complete coolant hose replacement kit were I can get them all at the same time. Probably never gonna need to replace all your hoses at once but wtf why not.
