Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Share January 30, 2002 Guys from my forum recommends Samco silicon hoses. You can check them out.

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Author Share January 30, 2002 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.

Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Share January 30, 2002 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven11 Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Share January 30, 2002 Wah, didnt expect these hoses to be so expensive... why is it so expensive? Anything special to these rubber thingy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Author Share January 30, 2002 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Author Share January 30, 2002 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoda_Man Neutral Newbie January 30, 2002 Share January 30, 2002 Unless you want to keep your car after 10 years then get the silicon hoses, else buy back original lor... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
