Samco Hose Question?
I've just recently purchased a Samco hose kit (TCS168) for my 01WRX and have now managed to get my hands on an STi7 intercooler.This means that I now need 2 hoses out of an STi7 hose kit (TCS209) so that all is matching 
lol
I've been on the phone earlier to Samco direct and they gave me the part numbers of the two hoses (TB213=intercooler hose & TB1096=turbo to intercooler hose)
Have phoned four places listed on Samcos website as official distributors (Inc Demon Tweeks) and none of them carry stock but they are checking pricing and availability with Samco.All have said roughly 10 weeks leadtime.
Does anybody know if any of the Subaru specialists would be likely to stock these individual hoses or anywhere else for that matter? (I don't really wanna buy the full kit as I will have two hoses that are surplus to requirements (intercooler to throttle body and dump valve to intercooler hose) as these are supplied in the WRX kit...
Suppose I could always try and flog em on here but there's always a chance I might not sell em!!
Hope somebody can help me?
Cheers
Nick

Don't forget that to fit the STi7 top mount to your WRX you will need a metal "Y" piece for underneath the new intercooler. I hope you got it with the new one as it cost about £70 (I think)

Thanks,
Yep,that's included. (Not actually received the intercooler as yet but have seen a pic of the underside of the intercooler and the metal y piece is included)

Nick,as the WRX kit is less than 2 weeks old and only done 10 miles since fitment,see what Spooks is prepared to pay as we all know Samco's stock of the full kit is none existant.
If he makes a good offer, order the STI set and get your under used wallet out and pay RRP for once,finding the 2 pieces for under the intercooler for the STI in Blue is not going to be easy.

Thanks guys.....
Makes sense for me to buy a full STi kit and then sell my WRX kit (Which has only been on the car a matter of weeks - The car is currently off the road for this week anyway as I'm waiting on new brakes arriving)
As the WRX kit (Samco part nr TCS168) is supplied in three pieces,two of the pieces will be brand new (I'll take these out of the STi kit that I order) and the other will have nominal mileage.I still have the original Samco box too. Gonna be askin £50 plus a few quid P&P.Anyone interested? (It makes the engine bay look nice!! lol)
Cheers

As stated,the WRX kit (TCS168) I have comes with two out of the three pieces brand new and the third piece with nominal mileage.This means the kit is as new and comes fully boxed.I'm looking for £50 plus whatever it costs for P&P
Any interest?

There was a red Classic which had perspex sections in the bonnet at the last NBO
They had a plate on it 4U 2NV and was by one of the stying companies but I forget which one......In fact I think I took a picture of it (not digital)
