[UUUdirs2newcastle]

For Samcos there is only one choice and that is S2Central on here.
The choice for silicone hoses is Samco or Roose motorpsort.
Search for answers.

or GTM motorsport from Germany

I would give the Roose motorsport one's a try, they seem to carry stock so you don't have to wait months!!

I have samco hoses supplied slowly by S2 central. When the hoses did arrive! I fitted them and carried out a boost leak test to check everything was air tight, I started to pressurise the system, got upto about 10psi and noticed that the intercooler to inlet hose had started to expand (balloon) alot.
When I removed the pipe I found it to be 1ply instead of 3ply.
I explained the problem to s2 central and was told i would have to wait a few months
for next group buy to have it replaced (it had taken approx 5 months to get the initial hose kit)
I have had more boost leaks with this kit than when i had good oem hoses.
The maf to turbo hose does not fit well (rubs on back of headlight cover and ends up making a hole in hose)
on this same hose where the n75 wgfv plumbs in it tapers all the way along so hose clip cant get a solid bite causing it to slide and leak air,
same goes for the the pipe coming from the isv to the throttle pot the neck on the samco pipe is tapered so hose clip cant get bite on a flat surface.
Each time I go out in the car I have to refit/tighten hose clips and even then I drive along waiting for that noise that says "it's blown off again"

Hello Dez, why didnt you contact Samco directly?

[Jamo]

Samco don't have the tooling rights to the S2 hoses

[HPmuirt]

Samco don't have the tooling rights to the S2 hoses

And won't talk about it either

I contacted them direct before I was on the forum and knew who Paul was. I also spoke to them at the NEC motorsports show. They said they new nothing about them except that they made them exclusively for someone in an 'Audi club' who had the rights for the S2 so I had to talk to him.

"Great" says I (all full of enthusiasm to buy their gear) "Gimme his name please" but they couldn't tell me who he was or even which 'Audi club'

Turns out 'him' was Paul, the 'Audi club' was this forum and 'they' are numpties (IMHO)
