They make the upper and lower rad hoses and Group A Supra is working on a full silicon hose kit last I heard, you can find the upper and lower hoses at: www.driftmotion.com

They are quality, I think they just give you a bunch of hoses with different sizes but they are quality.
^^--True, I bought a set for my non-turbo a few years back. They send you lengths of all the sizes you need for vacuum and some extra to cover other things in the engine compartment you want to match. they also send you a plastic cigar cutter (for lack of a better description) to cut the hoses straight and I think there were also color matched zip ties.
All are still working well on the car.

^^^^X3, I just got the Hose Techniques and they are great, although I picked up the jet black for more OEM look, too bad NGK don't make their plug wires black.
Everything said here has been true I am sure. However keep in mind these hose kits do not generally include crucial hoses.
Seen so many vacuum leaks from silicone vacuum hoses that I won't touch em... You HAVE to zip tie every connection.

So are you saying the stock rubber hoses don't leak and you don't have to zip tie or secure them?

ummm no.
They MIGHt be cracking way to easily as they are 16+ year old!!
Brand new they last a long time even in the MKIII Supra underhood oven.
can't you just use those spring type clamps? (not sure of their exact name but you have to get plyers to squeeze them and move them or to get them off)
like the ones that i have seen in my engine bay like the one that connect the vacuum hose to the bov
