Hi everyone, i'm thinking about replacing my turbo hoses with some samco ones.
My questions are,
1, Is it easy to do?
2, Do the samco kits replace all hoses or just some of them?
3, Where are the cheapest places to get a set off the shelf, as looking on ebay, most say can take up to 4-5 weeks as they are special orders.

Thanks in advance,

Mike.:wavey:

3.Most are special orders, cause if samco were to hold every kit that they sell, their warehouse would be the size of Wales lol.
2.They replace all the large turbo hoses.
1.A bit awkward to get them on sometimes, you will probably have to put them in some boiling water to soften them a bit.

Thanks for the replys.
If you only get the main hoses in the kit,does it matter what silcone hose you use for the other smaller pipe work and where can you get it from?

Out of interest see if your average MPG rises once they're fitted. Mine did from just below 25 to just above 25 and I can't work out why.
