    I realy don't know.

    I have been looking for hoses a couple of years ago, nobody could help me. I found a company in .NL who could make the hoses from an original one, but when he told me whats it would cost I got a temporary health problem :shock: It's still a wish to replace the original hoses, but haven't been looking lately. If you found something, let us know

    I saw a program once on how Samco hoses are made by matching them to the originals, very impressive and will last years but lots of MONEY :shock:

    Don't Samco do lots of generic tubing? Might be possible to match something up if you measure the pipes.

    I thing they are not the same. Just saying this for pictures I've seen.

    As wrinx says, you'll have to find ones that matches, but it's going to be a hard work. Maybe you could talk with some dealear of Samco.

    just a question: why samco hoses? For styling? If so, then it's an expensive one!

    If for performance, then OEM hoses will do the work just fine. Only if your boost is around 2 bar. Even then you can get silicone hoses from any dealer that holds those kind of hoses. They can make a custom ones just for you. Even so, they would be cheaper than samco's.

    Samco is just for prestiege and showoff.


    just my point of view.

    Subs,

    when i was looking at changing to a FM intercooler recently i found on ebay a few places selling universal kits for around Ģ80 if i remember rightly
    which consisted of several 90degree bends in silicone and some straight runs of steel(?)alloy tubing from which i think it would be possible to make up the Q4`s turbo hose route quite simply
    the only odd peice on the q4 is the final piece to the throttle body/plenum


    best of luck mate

    Nothing odd about, that last one. Just 2,5" - 3" Reducer silicone elbow.

    Picures are just fine Looking at the pictures makes me wonder about how much lag there might be : I mean, quiet a large intercooler and the pipes take a longer route from the turbo to the manifold. How does this perform in real life? Did you replace the standard turbo for a bigger one?
    I'm thinking of placing a bit smaller intercool, half the height you used.

    I donīt feel any extra lag yet Now itīs my time to replace the turbo. Maybe next summer I have time and money to do that. And the pipes arenīt really so much longer, than standars ones. That because the first hose from turbo to IC is only 15-20 cm long. Standar one is lot of longer, than that. The car is still nice to drive and I like it. Only thing what is wrong is too little turbo and too little HP numbers Iīm planning, that next evolution has 350-400 HP, but we will see. There is lot of problem, that has to solve before that.
