    Any fitment issues with Roose Hoses?

    Does anyone know if there are any issues with fitment of the roose maf -> turbo hose?

    Im asking because since i bought the samco intake kit here i have not been able to run with the original airfilter box.
    It does not reach the maf, it is simply impossible.

    I am sick of the open air filter and thinking of changing the hose to rooses.

    Any experience on here about this?
    It is an ABY engine.

    Do you have standard or OE exhaust manifold?

      Ive used both Samco and Roose without any issues, currently have roose fitted.
      I did notice the intercooler to inlet pipe fitted much better after changing the engine mounts, is it possible you have a issue with a engine mount?

        OE exhaust manifold to all my knowledge.

        Not sure to be honest, about the engine mount. The only thing I have not changed on the chassis.
        I still have the OE hose and could try swapping them out.

        The hose sits to much forward of the car, if that make sense.

        I've thought about cutting it at turbo side to make it come closer to the air box, but I'm afraid I'll be opening a can of worms then.

          I should say that all of the other hoses mates up as they are supposed to.

          Perhaps I got a 3B hose in my shipment?

            I have Roose on my ABY, it's not perfect, but can be made to fit easy enough (easy for an S2 job)

                I have finally found out why it does not reach the air box.
                Samco vs OEM.
