Check those for cracks... but I was thinking of the smaller 1/8" ID
(1/4" OD) ones on top of the engine. The turbo control hoses seem to
be of a high quality rubber and last a long time for most of us but
the small vacuum (control) hoses seem to dry out from the heat and
crack. The longest one that goes to the blow off valve (or whatever
Saab calls it... it's not exactly a blow off valve) is known for
cracking. If you buy 10' of hose you can redo them all (<$10)
