Yes, the much larger TB diameter and internal bell mouth stacks, combined
with a better flow configuration will yield a significant flow increase,
hence a resulting power increase, assuming you can fuel it.

I can't help you on the hose issue, as I am building a custom air intake.
The three piece intake has the larger TB built in. I was fortunate in that
I had a UK base friend hand carry (checked as luggage) the entire intake,
but they do pop up on ebay. Most everything that was not on the TR8 flows
better.
