Looking for high quality vacuum hose

Does anyone have a recommendation for a place to get premium quality vacuum hose? I'm trying to minimize the chances of random boost leaks and hose failures. Seems like cheap insurance and I'm going to be ripping some stuff apart soon.

Thanks.

I work at an Audi dealer, and we have very high quality hose (rubber wrapped in a high-strength woven cloth-like material). I can ask were we get it today.

We carry the full line of Samco Silicone hose products, and will be carrying a second line soon.

We have access to vaccum line from 3mm inside diameter to over 9 mm inside diameter with varying wall thicknesses as well in either 3 Meter Packs or 30 Meter Rolls.

Tell me what you need and in what color, and if I don't have it on hand, I should be able to order it withing a few weeks.

I hope it's not the same stuff as I have on my 01 S4. That stuff is crap. It becomes brittle and falls apart in no time. So I'm also in the market for some silicone vacuum line.

I *highly* recommend Vibrant and their silicone hoses and adaptors.

They have an entire range of diameters, lengths, and colors to choose from in silicone vacuume hose. Additionally, they have an entire range of hump hoses, reducers, and straights for intercooler / Intake piping. And for the finisher - they offer T-Bolt clamps in all sizes to compliment those new connectors.

I give 'em a
