Intercooler hoses

BinoX · April 03, 2012, 09:39:15 PM

Hello again everyone

I\'m on the hunt for replacement intercooler hoses for my FC... (Stock top mount)

Ideally I would like them in red, but I could put up with black if it\'s all I can get, lol..

Is there a kit I can buy from somewhere?
Or (since they seem to be simple-ish 90 degree bends) could someone tell me what I would have to buy to do my own? (I imagine some cutting would be required for a non-kit product)

Also... what diameter is the straight piece that comes off the top of the turbo?

Thanks

I got a kit off eBay, but it\'s not arrived yet. There are loads on there though if you do a search and most post to Europe

I had a look on ebay.. but all the kits I could see are blue, which just isn\'t going to work... (I\'m being really anal over the colour scheme of things now)

I messaged a couple to ask if they had it in red, but haven\'t had any response... Maybe I\'m just searching for the wrong thing? lol

OK, nevermind.. Found one now... lol...

In that case, I reduce my questions to just one...

What diameter is the straight piece that comes off the turbo?

Can\'t help with that one I\'m afraid, somone will know though. I\'m just as anal with my colour scheme, worst part is that mines purple! Can be really hard to get all the right sizes in purple!

Edit - I lied the stock straight peice is 45mm inner diameter, had a thought I have one in my car cupboard that I replaced with the BOV and I did!

Thank you very much

Mine has some purple vac hoses on it at the moment because I was originally going to go with white car body and blue and purple details... But after a bit of thought I decided to go with red and black... So vac hose replacing is going on again, lol... And I think I have a boost leak, hence the new intercooler hoses

Thanks again

I have a feeling it\'s 49mm diameter - but would need to double check it.
