Another mod.. this time it's personal...
Another mod.. this time it's personal...
This one's a good 'un too folks. If like myself or Fred your car is modified and has had issues with hoses blowing off and/or splitting (that stupid effing Diverter Valve hose has gone like 3 times already on mine) then Todd's upgrade kit is now ready. I got a set for myself and Fred's car as we run more boost and the stock/factory hoses and clamps are a POS. I saw these up close and personal at the show this week and they sure are much more sturdy. No more leaking or popping of hoses for me
If any of you guys in the Bay Area want a set let me know (Email me to alex@akkuratpgi.com) as we'll be installing them in our cars next week. Otherwise contact Todd/Mike at EVO.

I have a set being installed by Stephen with my IAGT/GTR mods. Yes, they're supposed to eliminate the occasional boost hose problems.

Actually they are a little wider in outer diameter. This is because of the thickness of the hoses. The fitment is still as stock and presents no issues. The F hose is a little tight getting in, but it is not that difficult and will never pop again. The ends are CNCed and the tabs that often pop on the factory hoses will not on these. Lastly the hoses are glued and clamped to the ends so they can not separate like the factory hoses to the end.
