Wastegate Hose - 8mm ID? Wire reinforced to stop collapse under vacumm?
Er, without sounding stupid does this have a name, only i phoned SFS today and they said it is just normal hose I was under the impression it had to withstand high temperatures tho and had to be a high temp hose....

I think 1 metre is enough of the 8mm stuff - if it is just used for the WGFV.
You don't really need the wire reinforced stuff. I just got some for other tubing and it was VERY expensive.
I think 2 metres is plenty for an ABY - I think the 3B uses more vacuum hoses
If you want SFS hoses cheaper than you can buy direct from SFS - speak to Lee on here - he is a distributor - he has more clout than you or me phoning up and so doesn't have to wait as long to get stuff made.
Agree with Doug - the reinforced 8mm stuff is only needed from turbo to WG via the WGFV. You really want 4mm internal diameter for the narrow control hoses. That doesn;t need to be reinforced - unless you are routing them differently from stock.
You can usually blag some discount from SFS over the phone if you are ordering decent quantities, so YES - if we have a friendly distributor on the forum who can get better prices then all the better
