Well, the hose is fantastic. The wall of the 4mm vacuum hose is 2mm. Its comforting to know that its a samco product, not some nameless silicon hose way overpriced. The samco stuff is expensive, but they justify it with their name and quality reputation IMHO. Also matches the IC hoses too for those concerned... samco do a range of colours in the vacuum collection. Oh I wonder if I can market this as the NZ951 vacuum hose "kit"

God that intake looks bad *** I just put on some 4mm hose from hose techniques, fits much better than the lindsey stuff in my opinion and better colors (didnt have to use any zipties the fit is so tight). Time will tell how it holds up. Got the white intercooler pipes back from the powdercoater, should have pics up sometime this weekend.

I was looking at the vacuum hoses on Samco's website, am I reading their "minimum quantity" correctly? You have to by 30m minimum? I like the sound of this stuff, but I have no idea what I'd do with 30m of vacuum hose...

I didnt buy it off Samco, it was off a retailer, you can buy it buy the metre from the retailer.

I have the hose techniques stuff on my car for over a year now with no problems. I know other people on the list have used it and I have not heard anybody complain yet.

Let me guess the hose techniques stuff is a couple of dollars a metre! I only needed 4 metres to do my whole car.

Uh about a buck a foot, in 10 foot quantities.

NZ951

Whats a foot? You crazy backward Americans!

PS post pics of your ipes Karl! Word of warning, white powdercoat has a weakness and its name is black plastic, you can polish it out though if you get a mark

I just spent the day VHT'ing my compartment covers, vac cannister, fuse box cover etc etc etc in flat black. Looks good having a consistent contrast.

I went to the website and looked under specifications for the vaccum tubing and it stated " NOT designed for pressurised installations." under boost our vaccum lines become pressure lines. HMMMMMMMM......

RogueM3

hmm.

Also, is there no need for hose clamps to crimp down the end of the hosing on to whatever it is attached?

I was wondering this but had forgotten to ask.
