Samco Boost Hoses

I was had made an enquiry to Samco looking for some similar sized boost hoses as I am currently having some custom Intercoolers done here in the UK. I received an email which stated, keep an eye on the website we will be doing them very soon for the 996 Turbo. I just received a call today from Samco saying these will be out within a month in the UK, I don't know when these will hit your side of the Atlantic, but it's great news for us in the UK!

that is awesome news! i wonder if they'll also do the silicone radiator hoses for the 996tt's??

i have samco's radiator hoses on my M3 and they work great under track conditions & the harsh climates, not to mention they look good!

I ran Samco hoses on previous cars and and far as i'm concerned they are the best. It's just a pity that they are so late in the day with releasing them.

they definitely are the best.

the top rally & racing teams in the world strictly select samco sport.

4 ply silicone that is made to last more than the life of the vehicle, can survive under punishing climate & racing conditions, and will not tear, burst, etc....

Stop laughing at me Dave! People are gonna start talking!

And no! i'm nothin' to do with Samco, it's sheer coincidence that Dave was on the blower to Samco at the same time as me!

Stevo-

This is great news. We have been Samco Dealer for over 5 years. We buy in bulk and have very aggressive pricing.

Once I get more info, I will be certain to post it up.

I've been telling folks in California to go with black since they blend in just like the stock ones, although red and soon blue are coming out. Now that production scaled up the price is mucho lower...

Hey Shark, to be honest that's why I enquired!

I have used Samco stuff for years on previous cars and I will be straight up with ya dude! I thought they were a ridiculous cost the Evo Hoses, please note nothing against Evo, I think they have some awesome product! Plus I was in the UK (even more to import). To confirm this I had the call the other day from Samco to discuss when these were being released and they basically couldn't believe how much they were charging for these hoses!

Regal in UK (they are doing Evo product) get this £1116.00 on the website, thats $2104.00 US. Check it out yourself http://www.porscheperformance.biz/ I'm sorry but I personally think that's a bit to expensive certainly for me.

I'm just being straight up here, like always.

Hey man no worries at all and be straight (that's what this place is about!). You can buy a set of those hoses from myself, EVO, Stephen and they're $995 pal. Not 2104...

Yip! no totally everthing is well cool!, but these puppies just come down in price again! I enquired to Samco a while back before the price drop, they returned an email saying keep an eye on the website!

I don't know what price Samco will release these at, I can't even comment on the Samco product. The one thing for sure, is they are one of the best hose manufacturers out there for sure!

Fantastic news for the 996tt. My 350z is equipped with all samco hoses and was in their booth at the PRI show here in Orlando. I've dealt with Silflex/SamcoSport for about 8 years now and they truly are top notch in molding silicone hose. They even have a new line of billet diverter and Blow-off valves that will fit the 996tt.
