Intercooler Hoses

[sinny]

I may have posted something similiar a while ago here but kinda need advice on a samco turbo hose kit, the reason I am looking is the red elbow from turbow outlet to intercooler is badly chewed away at the ends and its a pita to get it to seal and only lasts so long and u hear the air leaking out on boost . I am not sure if there is an exact kit for my car a MY06 STi that has the all metal piping underneath intercooler without the gap that had to be replaced with another piece of hosing.The kits I have looked at is the tcs332 which says its for a 2.5 wrx 06 on but the image shows hoses completely diff from what i need so I am guessing the wrx intercooler underneath is diff from mine, the other kit is the tcs209 that that says its for a 2.0/2.5 and has the elbow but this kit included the hose for the split in the metal piping but would that elbow fit?, other option is just to source a 90 degree bend and cut to suit i guess. Anyone ever had to replace that red elbow hose on a 06 sti?

Cant really advise on what you have asked, but just wanted to throw in my sympathy and understanding as I have a similar problem with a hose on my front mount...

Gonna have to get mine replaced soon as B&Q are going to end up selling out of stock on Gaffa Tape... LoL.... Mine is a straight bit of Hose, but one end is larger than the other.. Not sure of either ends measurements.. Hopefully be sorted on Monday....

But I`m having to drive like a wuss for the time being and not boost at all cos I either splutter and whistle after 0.5bar or the gaffa tape loses its grip and blows the pipe off bring the car to a spluttery halt......

Hope you get yours sorted soon..... And mine too

Sorry for late reply not long back from holidays, got mine sorted with a standard 90 degree elbow from motac in stirling, they have quite a selection of bends and straights as well as reducers I am sure I saw. Just cut to size and tightened down as hard as I could and so far fingers crossed its holding up ok
