I want some of these

Where can I get them? How much?

How hard are they to fit?

Will I need to bleed anything once I have put them on?

Cheers guys

Paul

I think everyone and there brother now sell samco hosing!!!
most of the well known suppliers stock kits custom cut for the scoobie, i know th e previous owner of my car got it fitted by his dealer in Cork (Ireland JIC), the dealer told him it was reccomended by prodrive!!! AFAIK to fit the intercooler hosing nothing needs to be bled as such, but I have herad to look out for "swarf" in the hoses. Check out grahme goodes site for decent pics, but any issue of CCC, fastcar or lax bowels will have info on Samco dealers

Cheers

I just ordered the Graham Goode samco intercooler kit to my MY99.. The fitting was very easy (and I'm a complete nerd when it comes to engines and tools) and was done in 20 minutes. I'm not sure if it performs better, but it sure looks cool!

This is easy to do and well worth it. The Y shaped hose under the intercooler is an unbelievably bad design and the Samco smoothes evrything out as well as being stronger - incidentally, this is the only hose that Prodrive replaced on the P1's etc and they wouldn't do it for no reason. I got mine from Graham Goode.

I'm planning buying the water-hose kit aswell, so if you could tell me where you got the intercooler kit for £27 it would be very nice..

Not the source you guys are thinking of

Let me get the hoses tomorrow and I will stick up the contact info for you all

The price was £26.70inc VAT, but that does not include postage, which was quite expensive at £10.

I have just spoken to them and they will be willing to sort you lads out for an even cheaper price

Keep you eyes peeled lads!

Paul

I cant reveal my sources but i can get silicon hosing exactly the same as samco but without the name cheap, however i would have to shell out on tooling which could cost a few hundred, is it worth doing or should i forget it due to every man and his dog selling samco.

I would be very interested in the water hose kit for a MY99 if you can tell me where I can get it cheaper than £104 (which GGoode charges)..

Question

Have just phoned Hose Direct and they only have Sti or WRX listed for intercooler hoses and are quoting £50+ for a multi-hose kit.Do these fit a uk MY99?Is the £26.70 deal for a uk model?
