Are we talking coolant hoses or vacuum hoses?

Coolant are pretty easy. The most important are the fat ones since they are easier to burst. Most of the smaller hoses can just be replaced with cut pieces of coolant hose you get at an auto shop. I think there are 3 hoses you have to get from Porsche.

Vacuum should be pretty easy too, but I haven't done them. Any auto shop will carry the vacuum hose, but make sure you get their best stuff for higher temps.
