Im for upgrading my turbo here next week and was planning on changing the plastic pipe under the manifold for good measure (my last classic one was split i found out whislt changing)

Is any of the cheaper alternatives any good over samco? Ive seen ecplispe selling them on here etc but haven't heard any feed back on how they are.

Any info appreciated

Thanks

 

Just make sure you get a decent one, nothing worse than aborting a mapping session because the inlet is sucking shut!

I went for the perrin one here, expensive yes, but solid and does the job.

 

As above go for a decent make,perrin are excellent and do the job perfectly,samco i wouldnt recomend im affraid as my mate had major problems with 2 samco inlet hoses sucking shut under load and replaced with perrin to solve it,the guy selling the eclipe hoses says they dont suck shut as they have one on a car running big boost/power,but will he take it back and refund you if it does.

 

I'd recommend an alloy hard pipe, same sort that is used for intercooler pipework, most custom exhaust places should be able to make something up

 

As Harry said,hard inlet pipe will be best,will not collapse under boost,running custom inlet pipe and never have any some sort of problems with collapsing inlet pipe

DSAutomotive down in Aylesbury sell a APS item.

 

SFS ones are good aswell

i bought this one and works well mate

 

I had no issues with a Samco up to 400 brake, now on an AsFS which has seen 500 ( only switched due to turo intake size change)

 

ecplispe posted on here a few days back as someone bought one on here and it collasped on them they offered a replacement in the thread for all to see ,
They also said they are doing a evan better one with wire reinforcement in for cars over 400bhp or normal bhp

i need one as mine is getting bad as i noticed when changing the turbo yesterday and was gonna get the ecplispe one ,

i have there water pipe kit and there 5ply seem thinker and harder than samco ones as they are only 3 ply

so they get my vote

 

Cheers for all the replys ill be holding out and buying a decent make by the feedback ive got! Don't fancy buying twice
