When do hoses need to be replaced? 850 1995

Having a now almost 7 year-old 850 turbo I just want to know what the consensus is on replacing vacuum and/or other related hoses in the engine compartment. I do run the car hard from time to time (I know, a bad and nasty habit) and have been running with increased boost (ECU and a few other little things) for about 3 years now - I've probably subjected the hoses to more heat than a regular 850 turbo owner has. Is there a recommended time as to when I should go and replace all the hoses? Is there a lot of labour involved in the process? Thanks.
