If you want some cool t-bolt clamps for these. I picked up some at www.fittingsandadapters.com part numbers

TBS-025 - 3
TBS-029 - 1

About $5 each for them.

Yahnoza - How did yours fit man? Those T-Bolt clamps look really nice. I think I will be doing that.

I want a set of those nice adapters you are making also. Did you ever get it figured out as to which side was for the coolant feed and drain for the turbo? Just wondering.

same problem as everyone else. Had to cut some of the old hose to fit inside the new ones on the top of the radiator, no big deal ***...those clamps realy kick ass, and hold tight.

On the adapters, the feed will come from the passanger side (higher pressure), and the return on the drivers side. Or you could return to the surge tank. Your call on that one.

I need to get rid of these hoses coach.

coach · 10-06-2003, 07:03 PM

My brother wants them, he just has to find the money. I'm not going to pressure my brother everyday about it. He gets paid every two weeks.

If it isn't life and death and you can hold out a bit then consider them sold. But if not then you can try and reach Louis on aim (turbochargedb13) or through his website www.sr20performance.com for a return.

I understand how you feel as they don't fit around your air filter, but it is out of my hands.

Yes it does. I had to work hard to get my stock hose over the housing.

I was just reading up on this. sounds like they fit the gti-r. I guess i should have got some.

Sorry coach I don't mean to pressure anyone. I'm not in a rush but I don't want to get dead ended and be stuck. I originally sent an email to Louis and never heard back which doesn't suprise me. Just PM me when the time is right.

Damn how come it took so long for these to be sent out? I was just about to order myself a set but now I am considering other means.

vrux · 10-31-2003, 10:04 AM

Still have a brand new set forsale.

coach · 10-31-2003, 10:20 AM

They were all hand made as one big order. Orinigal company cancelled on us so we had to go to another company. From there it took 7 weeks. That wasn't to bad. They all come from the UK so shipping and customs takes a while.

I think Louis still has a couple sets, and vrux has a set for sale as well.

Vrux, if he doesn't take them I will start putting pressure on my brother. He is just low on funds from the turbo purchase he just did.

I might be interested but as it is my stock radiator hoses barely fit around my intercooler piping and what not. With these hoses don't you have to stick some type of bushing in one of the holes so it fits snug?

coach · 10-31-2003, 12:32 PM

On the upper inlet housing you put 1" of the stock hose on then slide this over. They are perfect in all the rest of the positions.
