Just a note, the turbo coolant lines are rigid metal lines. No need to replace these unless they get damaged.
Don't go nuts replacing hoses. Do a simple test -- the sqeeze test. If the hoses are soft, either replace them or keep your eye on them.
Don't forget that replacing all the hoses involves draining (and disposing of) the coolant, a step I recommend against on environmental basis. If your coolant's due for a flush and you don't mind tackling the hoses, have at it, but one failed hose doesn't automatically suggest the others are close behind.
In ten years I'm guessing the hoses would have been replaced at least once, or on an "as they fail" basis. The upper hose seems to be the most common failure in my experience.
