Aquired a set of blue Samco turbo hoses but I don't know where 2 of the 4 hoses should go to? See picture below. I know that the 2 upper ones, 1 is the throttle body to intercooler , the U-shaped one is the blow off valve but where do the other 2 go (lower ones).

One seems to go below the intercooler (elbow piece) but seems to be much smaller than the OE hose that is already there. Also where does the straight piece go (lower right hose)?

Thanks for your help,
Ramon

Lower left intercooler, lower right is dumpvalve again, its a kit for a MY97/98 car.

It thats for a Belgium Impreza, the two lowers are wrong. I had the same problem,it took me almost 6 months on a local "autosport" shop to order, 4 times they gave me the wrong.
Finally ordered them by my dealer : no problem from the first time.
The intercooler lower pipe is an Y shape in one piece. But its very difficult to order because we rate cars by the model year, and japs and english with types. So maybe contact my dealer, mail me for the adress.
The only thing I have done with my kit is prolonged the y shape for a better fit with some tube from a truck !!!

Oh well, bad luck for me then, I bought the kit in Japan and the package said Impreza GC8 version 5/6 and my car is a MY99, isn't that the same?

So it seems that I can only fit the 2 upper parts on the photo....?

MY99 is kit TCS143. The MY99 4 piece kit is for the STi's which have a metal Y pipe under the intercooler.

You really should have the Y shaped as well.
I certainly feeled the difference when driving.
The whole car seems to respond much better on the trottle....
By the way, if you look at the original plastic ones you will know what I mean...
My dealer has them in stock (for Belgium Turbo's)

Guess I will put this kit in the "For sale" section then.....

Hi,

Can anyone confirm that the L Piece from this kit will work if you have the Metal Y piece from prodrive? Looks the right length. If so I might know someone interested...

Cheers

Paul - pretty sure it will I think!
