Keaton85 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 You should also look at stylin motors for silicon intercooler hoses, although if you cant find any leaks in your stock hoses you will be just fine. I have a 5spd turbo and when i switched to silicon hoses it really didnt make much of a difference, i just needed a set to fix a broken hose. As for the BOV, your stock bypass valve is perfectly fine for now inless you wont to be heard on the streets. did you really do every part of stage-0 to your car?

JHEIII874T5M Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 how many hoses and does this include clamps? also how do i ditch stock pipe from MAF to turbo?TankerThe Samco turbo hose kit includes 5 hoses and does not include hose clamps. George from VIVA Performance has hose clamps that you can buy seperately.I've got a couple of red and black Samco turbo hose kits here that I offer for $185 including shipping. Personally, I always reuse the factory clamps... has worked fine for every car I have installed the Samco turbo hose kit on, many of them over 300HP.To ditch the stock pipe from MAF to turbo, you just have to get a few silicone couplers, a 180* 2.5" aluminum u bend, and start cutting. Not sure why you would change it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PR850TURBO Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 BOV is a personal opinion....only for sound.What about protection from Backpressure to the turbo, specialy when upgrading/modding the car.The stock valve design is not the best protection IMHO.My .02Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I have found interesting is that the stock valve can tend to leak past 15 PSI. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyWriter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 There is no specific Samco kit persay, but there may be options to use standard replacement hoses for your rubber intercooler hoses....Send me an email if you are interested in discussing: parts@vivaperformance.comwrt to T6; there are only two rubber hoses, the upper and lower intercooler hoses. the lower one has integrated boost and temp sensor mount molded into it, tough to replace. T6 spec is 8 psi, not much stress on the tubes. an ECU upgrade will take you to 15 or so psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
