    you'll only notice a difference if your current pipes are old & swelling under boost, the advantage to fitting Samco is they are more durable

    if your car is pre ME7 what about making a RIP kit instead of buying Samco's

    Samco hoses will just look good. Won't make any difference unless your running daft boost or yours are ££££ed. Got a peice of samco hose with a Forge DV T'd off from it that I had on mine before taking it off cos' didn't want my car sneezing any more. Fits onto the metal pipe that goes over the top of the engine and down to the intercooler. Does on my ME7 anyway.
