Mike, myself and Samco went to a lot of trouble to get these right! I must have had them on and off (different sets) 12-15 times. The hoses are outstanding quality and the connections are now spot on. These connections were a pain in the ass, i'm sure some companies use the same size of connection but I will tell you now the Y pipe has a tighter fit compaired to the Intercoolers, but we got it perfect in the end!
Glad your happy mate!

Greg, Fit and quality of the hoses was excellent. Only negative comment I can think of is that I re-used the clips from the stock hoses, and new clips/clamps would have been a nice touch. That said, all hoses fit PERFECTLY.
The Fpipe is on and DVs installed again ... just gonna have to find that while clip ontop of the motor or head 1.5 hours south to Richmond Va. to buy a few... The fit of these hoses is indeed outstanding!!!
Mike
Thanks Mike.....I agree on the clips /clamps and will see if I can source a new set. Also, would like to see a pic of your work when completed work.....thanks.

Guys, the pics are uploaded above, and I am done with the car... I took it for a test ride tonight and I have to admit, It is a totally different animal. I have to preface this by answering the fact that I had issues with codes prior to this instal, and had the car in the shop, where they replaced the MAS, and then didn't address the p1101 and P1249 codes... In doing the Fpipe install, I noticed that the twin vacuum hoses come off the diverter valves and go down to a Y and then to a controller valve... that line wasn't fitting snug at all and it was probably leaking under pressure... Not to mention the factory hoses looked pretty weak and tired... This car only has 13K miles on it, and has been modified since the first 6 months after the previous owner bought it new. My guess is that the hoses were due for a change, and these hoses connect SOOOO much better. The car FEELS faster, seems to build 1.2 bar boost quicker, and hold max boost longer... Could it be the hoses? Could it be the fix on the diverter valves???
Could it be a little of both???
Best $800 I've spent... Next step is to get the upsolute tune OFF the car, and get the Computer to UMW for some of Kevin's magic!

dont waste your time sending it to Upsolute, Kevin can probably just tune over the old programs...

I updated the first post with links... Let me know if you need further clarification... Looking back on the install, I could have NOT removed the inner fender liners or the rear lights... Would have needed to loosen the lights, but no need to remove them...
I've driven the car for two extended periods since the completion of the instal on Thursday night, and every time I drive the car, I'm giddy! This thing ROCKS!!!

Hard to tell from the pics but are there any clips that can be replaced with say a good t-bolt clamp?
Nice work and keep on being giddy!
