  • new samco hoses

    Fitted them a week ago. First of all they look great but the only problem i had was i had to butcher the pipe from airbox to turbo since i have an MTM
    fabricated aluminium pipe fitted onto turbo which houses all the pick off connectors ie solonoid valve and dump valve.
    i found two splits in two different old pipes. The transformation is amazing
    no words can express the grin factor that i have on my face.
    I would like to thank the members who organised this, it definately was
    worth waiting for.
    The only downside now is the car is running so efficiently it has shown up
    two weaknesses.
    1 old clutch beginning to slip on full boost
    2 I/C o ring will need the MH upgrade
    RS2 MTM

    Is there still a chance to buy a set of hoses?

        A 60-70mm reducer pipe tp put on the intercooler and the crossmember. The o ring that seals the interccooler is prone to leak boost, so putting this pipe (cut to fit) on the i/c will help loads.

        No more.

        Leon TDI 150 run in now.

        Very slow.

        Needs a chip.
