Waiting for my Samco hoses to arrive. Just got my Forge DV's and there are no hose clamps. Do they come with the hoses ?

If not what ones do people recommend ?


Also been looking at the stock F hose. Noticed a metal pipe which sits on the F pipe on the left side. Looked at the Samco hose and it doesn't seem to have a ridge for this metal pipe.

What have people done with this metal pipe ?

I Think Clamps Come With The F Hose

 

I've just ordered some new DV's

What is the reasoning for uprating the f pipe?

 

factory f hose is known to leak like all other hoses.. since in there doing DV's most say its a good time to change F hose.. and I think the new F hose holds more boost safely

 

do they leak becuase they're not securred properly? or do they just bulge which causes the leak?
do the silicone hoses have a better attachment as well as being stronger?

 

think just from age & material.. and additional boost pressure... they come with new style clamps.. I am not a pro in this... just telling you what I have been told and heard..

 

I blew a fair sized hole in my F hose - I guess you could call that a leak?

 

Mine tore in half...

 

damn! I guess I should replace the f pipe when i do the DV's then

AndyMac - I see you're in the UK - where did you order your hoses from?

 

Direct from Samco.

Bought the Forge DV's aswell.

Both recommended by Kevin at UMW

 

1 more thing.

Do u get new rubber 'O' rings with the new pipes. If not do people use the old ones or buy new ones ?

 

how much did samco charge for the hoses?

 

£400. Thats around $800.
I think I saw that AWE tuning are selling them for about that too
