anybody got any pics of their engine with the samco hoses in? coolant or turbo.

Here you go, coolant, I/C, and a bit of custom piping to the turbo :)

Rob got any info in the "bit of custom piping to the turbo" as I have just fitted a blitz and would be interested in taking out the that part to make it fit a bit better

Cheers Alistair

cheers - looks good.

how many of you think that the turbo hoses make any noticable difference to performance?

Ali,
The carbon pipe that you can see was a one off piece that I made, it gets rid of the resonator box and gives loads more induction noise, if nothing else :D

The heatshiels was not replaced when I had the down pipe fitted, I was told it was no longer needed.

Thanks, Rob.

Not sure if the hoses make any difference really, but after I fitted the intercooler ones, it did seem to pick up a bit quicker.
