    When I read the thread title my initial answer was, the engine bay? Lol

    Can you buy direct from Samco?

    I think I paid £180 but I had a 3" throttle body included into that so it might be cheaper without

    I've used these guys before, they are not Samco but a decent alternative if you know what shape and size you need.

    I built my throttle pipe for 40 (ish) quid using 3" stuff from fleabay. I think the throttle elbow and ally pipe were ASH (Auto silicone hoses).

    There's an element of satisfaction when you make your own (espeially when it doesn't go pop and fly off )

    Yes Pete no problem , but i might knock the sweets off

    i'll speak to them about bringing the coolant hose kit down to match. they did it on a couple of others for me, but they were ones that had not sold in good numbers. the rad hoses i already sold quite a few.

    see what they say.......

    You could spend a fraction more than the hose kit and get a RIP kit with Hoses. From d088. Kill 2 birds with one stone and add some bling to your bay

    evening , god bit of info here now lol , I searched the web and found the samco and sfs kits are about 135/140 , the do88 kit is 100quid.


    the last RIP kit I had was genuine Volvo top pipe with the escort rs turbo intake pipe and made the intercooler to TB with the rest of the standard Volvo stuff .
