Received the long awaited Samco's for ABY today and they *LOOK gorgeous. Will hopefully post a pic later...

Only oddball (which I expected cos of weird shaped stock hose) was they made the hose from turbo to intercooler into a two-piece affair such that the link section to the TBV is a separate little hose.

Hope to trial fit on Jim or my car very soon...


CHeers,

Woo hoo :-) they'll arrive just after my new turbo arrives, and then I won't be able to use some of them :-((( pants! never thought back when this started I'd be changing the turbo this soon

You should be able to use them all - just the MAF to Turbo inlet will need to be modified to fit over the turbo compressor inlet - your new turbo will have a inlet diameter of 70mm - what is the standard turbo inlet? It might stretch as silicon hoses can stretch probably upto 5mm (diameter) more than they are designed for. You will be able to sell that hose anyway - I'm sure there will be demand for them - I will sell my one as I don't need it - all the other pipes will fit.

Nice :-) that makes me feel a bit better! bring it on... spanners and hammers are ready for the mod :-)

:eek2: lovely jubbely lets hope they fit!

Actually I'm being a bit dumb here and I don't recognise a couple of these hoses. Any chance of labelling the pics to show which is which?

[Doug_RS2]

Lovely - when are the rest of us likely to get them if these fit ok?

Paul, looking at the photo I cannot see if Samco have provided a sensible way to joint the two-piece IC hose.

[Doug_RS2]

I'm not sure what is standard on ABYs becasue I had an RS2 hose but it has a metal hose joiner, similar to one of these:

SFS Hose Joiner

25mm size.

I was expecting for that price to get good jubilee clips as well?

I see Paul didn't answer. He's probably too busy, so.... here is a description.

@paul,

do you think samco would be able to make a one off intake maf to turbo pipe with 70mm on the turbo end?

I'm sure they *could* do it, but you'll have to eat the tooling cost of approx 200 quid. SFS might do it cheaper if you can convince them to eat the tooling cost across a committed quantity.

Maybe better to fabricate an adapter of some sort - will be cheaper...
