I have seen those as well. They are listed for gen 3 engines. Can't be sure that they will fit on a gen 2. They look very similar to the samco hoses. I haven't been given a price yet for the oem Toyota hoses but it should be interesting to see the difference in price between eBay, samco and oem.

i got a call from brell, he says ULTIMOTIVE might have one for you. 97911388

Paul is a good guy, very helpful when I spoke to him. What part was he referring to? The coolant housing or the hoses?

Gen 3 ones (silicon) fit a gen 2 without any issues, I have them on mine and pretty sure admin use them too.

You have the eBay silicon hoses fitted to yors car 5sgte?

Just an update, I will be telling a very interesting story in a few days about an overheating Mr2, $2000 in cash and 4 weeks of precious time.

The MR2 cooling system isn't the most complicated in the world.
 
Once you've eliminated the below culprits, it's usually a blown HG or cracked block (VERY rarely cracked head):
 
Thermostat (common culprit)
Radiator cap
Hole in the system (usually radiator)
Blocked/kinked overflow

wtf 2k on the cooling system and it STILL overheats? your mech robbed you. 
 
 

Thermostat (common culprit)
- new thermostat
Radiator cap
-new rad cap
Hole in the system (usually radiator)
- system has been pressure tested
Blocked/kinked overflow
-as above

Is it using up coolant? When does it overheat? After some boost?
