Turbo intake hoses: nearly $300

various vacuum hoses all over the engine bay: $????

Guys from my forum recommends Samco silicon hoses. You can check them out.

I did call Derrick and he cannot sell to me direct. He asked me to check with CS Autolabs and them hoses damn expensive! Around $500 for the complete set of radiator and turbo intake hoses.

 

Now I'm looking for vacuum hoses only, smallish ones that can be gotten from Summitracing for US$19.95 for a complete set. [cool]

At least they have stock for your brick! They don't even make for my babe! One of my friend bought an original set and have them sent to their factory in UK for them to copy. Unfortunately, min order is 15 sets! [:(] My babe req a set of 6 hoses.

 

Any advise on when to change hoses? 2/3/4 yrs?

Hoses tend to last around 5yrs. My brick is coming 5 and the hoses are still holding up well, except a bit of de-coloring so becoming grayish white rather than black.

SAMCO hoses are not rubber, they are silicon hoses that can withstand high temps and won't deform that easily. Good for racing application and will probably outlast our car's COE! [;)]
