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.

Wow. That's what I need for my garden hose. No more leaks.

Nice stuff.....I'm guessing it eliminates the problem with hoses blowing off?

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

Sincerely,
Paul

great stuff; i have my condoms made by those guys. pricing is great, since the length/diameter match the drivers side upper boost hose.

Heya Craig,

Check your Email, never heard back but yes they are the same;)

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.

Thanks Stephen. It was the inner diameter I was concerned about. As I understand your post, the inner diameter is the same as stock. Thats what I wanted to know.

how long does it take to install?
need to drop the engine?

Craig Sep 19, 2004 01:19 PM

No engine drop required Kevin. Ive been told that its a 2 hour install.

Very nice hoses. Can individual hoses be bought? What is the cost of the individual hoses? Might have an interest in the lower boost hoses.
