As above, is there a known problem with std intercooler hoses?
If so is the problem mileage/age related? Have people always upgraded IC hoses when fitting Ecutek ECU's? (doubt it :)) Apologies if asked before (just need justification for being a tight git & not buying new hoses ;)) Cheers,John |
Standard TMIC pipes have been known to split at higher than standard boost levels, hence the change Prodrive make.

Thanks Homer, may have to let the moths out of my wallet
(doh!) Sorry feller couldn't resist :) Any other peeps? Cheers,John |
Easier flow and larger bore pipework
|
I Blew Two Turbo to intercooler hoses before buying Samco, running 1.15 bar on MY 98
|
Hmmm interesting question...
...so if I were to blow a hose, what are the consequences? Any damage? |
I had the link ecu fitted on my car and it just birst open the y-shape intercooler hose,i then changed to samco hoses easy to fit and very strong.
I would get the samco hoses if you are increasing your boost levels. |
Take off intercooler, turn over and look at OE design, pick jaw off floor and fit something decent.
I opted for a ritual burning of the one we swapped out last night :) Never heard of one popping though - a few i/c to inlet's I'm aware of....which the PPP doesn't replace! Richard |
lol @ Richard :D
|
Tks to all for your replies, Bu**er, looks like more money to be thrown at the Scoob:)
Where is the cheapest place for Samco hoses? Cheers,John |
What car you got John?
See if this fits the bill! http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...threadid=93068 Ian |
Dowser, you took the words out of my mouth ;) How restrictive did they want to make the OE one??? :eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Matt :) |
How many pieces are in the Samco kit for the MY99 ?
Best place to get them ?? |
Here ya go guys:
http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadid=104419 Seems to be a real shortage of them at the mo!! Got me a set today from Graham Goode, but red as they had no blue...... MY99 is the 3 piece - same as WRX 5/6 and is Samco part TCS143 Cheers Neil |
Matt,
Up-pipe is similar (did you see photo without heat shileds?)....and so is inlet pipe (but this one looks a real sod to change...). Richard |
Yes, yes and yes ;):D :rolleyes:
Matt :D |
