The Samcos for the non-STi v4 (I've got a MY98 WRX) comprise a single complex hose from the turbo to the dual intercooler inlets, a tube for the throttle body and a bend for the dump valve. Because of the metal Y-piece under the STi intercooler, they will always have more pipes in a Samco set.

BUT, they are much easier and cheaper to make because they are basic straights and bends IIRC. Hence the STi 4 piece set is cheaper than a 3 piece WRX/Turbo 2000 set, but arguably the 3 piece Samco set flows better too.
