v4 sti induction hose upgrade (samco)?
hi all ive get a v4 type r which the induction hose has brok on so wanting to upgrade. Been looking at the samco but have heard bad things about them not fitting properly which i dont want when it costs a lot. Is there any other upgrade? Any suggestions?

BTW, a well known specialist (and others) reckons the only ones worth buying are the Samco and Viper jobs.
This is because they have reinforcing steel bands sandwiched in the layers of silicone. This means they are much less likely to collapse under full boost conditions i.e. when there's a great vacuum happening inside the hose.

Look around on ebay or pistronheads mate,i have bought 2 in the last 4 months ,1st one cost me £50,last one cost £35.00,both samco items and much better and stronger than the original plastic crap that comes as std.+ dead easy to fit.
Regarding the SFS stuff cant comment,but who exactly said it was better quality than samco ?. If it was martin whitmarsh,or sebastian loeb,or martin shanker,or jason plato ,then i would listen,but fact is most aspects of motorsport choose samco and have done for a good many years - for what reasons ,definetley not price imho.

Nothing wrong with SFS products.
I regularly use them and don't have any problems with their products. - Their Turbo Inlet Hoses are wire reinforced BTW.
On a par with Samco products IMO - Both good quality
