A few people have SFS I believe.  There was a group buy and possibly a review on the Ko3 set

SFS do intercooler hoses and coolant hoses for the mk5.
I have a set of their intercooler hoses, I will hopefully get round to fitting them soon.
Here is a review of the SFS hoses:

Btw, if using any aftermarket hoses, I would strongly recommend using stainless steel jubilee clips. Much more corrosion-proof and hence easier to undo etc, also look much better.

I have SFS, they needed modifying to stop them getting chopped by radiator fans and more. They were poorly designed but are strong and with modifications they are now performing as intended. I dont know how many times they had revised these but i call at least twice.

Just my 2 pence.  :fighting:

Are your SFS hoses the later versions with the flattened area behind the rad fans as per the pics below, or are they the first versions without the flattening?
