Hi,

I came across these over ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...spagenameZWDVW


And was wondering if that would solver my popping hose problem ? Are they good product, anyone ever used them before ?

Thanks
Bo

 

where does the hose keep popping out of, the clips on the intercooler? the y pipe, the turbos, themselves? what boost pres you running? Whats done to the car or what are your plans for the car?

 

Yes, they are good hoses.

 

I did a DIY on here a while back and I love them... Check on my name for the write-up and the quality report!

I have the Samco ones on my 996tt which is pushing 1.1bar of pressure and the alloy ends to the Samco hoses are much better and the clip fits much better than the standard porsche ones.

 

01 TT hoses were terrible but Porsche did redo them for 02 and beyond and they should be OK for most mild upgrades. the oring design was changed too

 

im picking up a set same time i do my intake/reflash/diverters

 

Bought the same Samco Hoses in Black from this ebay seller, very good ebayer and the product is superb.

Had them on my car for a couple of months now, the car regularly see's 1.1 Bar and feels much stronger since they have been fitted. Highly recommended and they look great compared to OEM.

How much were the Samco on E-bay?

(as I only need a very small partial set as most of mine is Hard Piped by Proto.

Too kinky for me dude.

 

Do you think we can install "stronger" clips than the oem one ? Caus I think this kit will work woth OEM clips only... correct me if I am wrong

I reused my old stock 2001 clips and they worked fine. I think it has more to do with the metal ring around the stock hose, than the clip failing. I've been very happy with the performance of my car since installing the hoses, and had no issues with codes or pressure drop.

I have a set of agency power ones and the best thing about em is the "LOOK", I ended up tearing one up...dont ask.... but I put my original one back in and seen no problems.... The only, and only time any hose ( stock vs these) gave me a problem is on the bottom hose by rear tire, there isnt a metal clip... only a clamp you tighten with a screw driver and for fear of over tight'n I poped it off 2 times until I lost my fear and clamped that sucker on there good!! and thats the stocker one... SO..IMHO I dont think they really do much if anything on mild upgrades... (where Im @).... if you go with sick upgrades like Markski or Joetwint or soem others here... yeah you may want soem other set up...... comes down to if you like the looks more than anytning at this stage.....but then again what do I know...... lol

 

They look like quality pieces, I googled the name and came up with a bunch of sellers and the manufacture, but none say they make them for a 996TT. What gives, are these R&D units? Or did they discontinue...

 

i got mine from Dan at vividracing.... he was incredible to deal with as he has a 996tt and can really relate to what we are doign with them... ive heard some other "shops" here on 6speed and they also seem to be quite nice to deal with... overall hard to chose who to give the business to... lol...
