This is Paul from Roose Motorsport Performance Silicone hoses here.
I've been reading your topics for silicone hoses for some time now. I read that you are having trouble with lead times being as much as 5 months because of the tooling being owned by someone else.
Also seen that there are group buys now and again. (which i must say the guy is doing a fine job as these take some organizing).
Let me tell you where i stand.
Having read certain articles like:
Yeah whatever, its a free country... But the Samco hoses are perfectly up to the task as a multi-layered, reinforced, flouro-lined hose. That Nomex layer doesn't add any value in my opinion - sure its hot down there, but the Samco material doesn't fail at such high temps. I've ran them for years - so have umpteen others - no heat issues.
This Nomex layer is pure FUD... And I think your reference to my post about Samcos in your post was the delivery issues that you were having on the Roose items - I was just offering to help someone else out if they were stuck for hoses.
Peace already.

There are only 10 kinds of people that understand binary - those that do, and those that don't
Firstly. Nomex is rated at 240 degree's C and any hose that is situated between the turbo and the intercooler should be made from this material or other high temperature silicone. The heat from the turbo charger makes this hose very hot and with all the heat and oil mist the silicone goes soft. A soft hot hose with a prelonged period with 20 psi in it, the hose needs to be as strong as you can get it. Also the hose clips can degrade a hot soft hose quickly. Nomex will prevent this from happening.
I have Norwegian Escorts and Sierra cosworths running 900 BHP with this spec of hose.
Secondly. Lead times. Its simple, When payment has been recieved your hoses will be despatched the same day or 24hrs later.
We manufacture the hoses, so you are dealing with ourselves from purchase to delivery. Any problems, call our mail order line. We have dedicated staff on hand to sort out any problems straight away. Tel 01522 787187
This leads me to selling hoses.
As some of you know i already have the ABY / ADU boost hose kits up and running.
I am willing to make the tooling up for the complete car, as in boost, coolant, ancillary and breather hoses. Also other Audi models.
I work on a basis as you help me out and i will help you out. So i am offering one person who can supply me with a full compliment of Original Audi S2 ABY hoses, a new for old deal. Meaning i keep your original Audi hoses and i supply you with a brand new set of silicone hoses in either Blue, Red, Black, Yellow, Orange, White, metalic gold or metalic silver, when they are out of development, free of charge.
When they are out of development they will go onto my web site where you can purchase them with all major credit and debit cards, paypal, cheques, postal orders and cash sent registered post. Alternatively you can call our mail order line and pay by the same means.
I will also be available for group purchases at discounted prices, and i will post out all orders to mainland UK for free.
My web site is www.roosemotorsport.co.uk
I have posted a picture of my own car to show you the quality of my work so you know that when you purchase hoses from ourselves you are assured quality.
Sorry its not an Audi but i think you'll get the picture.
Best regards Paul Roose
