IC hose kit

Hi guys,

Sambo and I are fixing to upgrade my TT to K16 billets so another 100hp! Replacing clutch as well.
What's a good economical choice for a hose kit as mine are currently stock.
Thanks!

I got you Brock. I think the Forge are awesome and you can later remove the couplers to run the hose over the aftermarket inter-coolers pipes for smoother flow.

Was just looking at hoses tonight for a buddy. Forge also seems to be the cheapest. Do the aftermarket ones attach just like the factory ones? The clip?

I used to have the Forge silicone hoses. The ends have to be modified to properly fit the 997.2ICs. I switched to OEM hoses which I've been running for the last 3 years and have over 100 hard track ours on them at 1.3bar without any issues. The OEM hoses are very good. They have a rubber encased composite mesh core. Works good, fits perfect, lasts a long time. I think I paid around $200 for all 4 hoses. No need to reinvent the wheel in my opinion unless you want some fancy colored hoses. What I would do is change out the OEM F-hose. That one is rubber and will split at the seam. I have the Samco hose but Forge among other make good F-hose replacements. Good luck..

Forge are good but also they must fit the ICs, when we make them I always ask what hoses are you using... cant go wrong with forge and even oem as long as the O rings are holding...
