[QUOTE=Andrew]TCS53 for the turbo kit and TCS53/C for the coolant kit.[/QUOTE] what about vacum pipes aswell?
4mm, 6mm and 8mm just to be safe.
how much of the stuff? 2 meters in 4,6 and 8?
How come the turbo kit costs so much more? You get way less tubing for lots more moola. When I first looked into doing this I assumed the turbo kit included the coolant lol
More complicated to manufacture plus there are a few variations within the years which means they have to up the price to make some money on them. Get 2m of each to be safe. You could probably do like 2-3 cars with that, but its better to have too much than too little.

[QUOTE=tr03bor]ok thanks mate!! is it a good idea to get the silcon coolant hoses? or best to stick to originals?[/QUOTE] If you need to change them then get samcos. Be carefull if you have an auto though, there have been a few cases where the samco rubs up against the gearbox dipstick. No such trouble on manuals though.
