First off:
I have gotten permission from John D to post this groub buy!

Second, From the other thread I posted, most people wanted a cooling hose kit
I'm not sure on the pricing but other kits sell for about $300 thats all the heater hoses and upper and lower radiator hoses

The turbo hoses and jboot were not that big of intrest but if 10 or more people want these im sure they can be done. Im going to post a poll also just to make it easy.

I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a new set of cooling hoses(unless some one has the whole kit already and doesnt need it) and send them off to Samco Sport, which are located in the UK

turbo to pipe, pipe to intercooler, intercooler to pipe, pipe to throttle body
turbo to pipe is the only one that needs to be made as the other 3 are pretty much off the shelf peices they already have.

So 1's, 4, and 5 on the intercooler diagram

Well in that case, I change my vote from cooling hoses to cooling and turbo hoses.

A hard pipe eliminator kit as samco do for other cars is what want you half the number of hose clamps and there is no longer charge heating from engine bay heat .and there are coolant hose kits on ebay for 130 and the oem hoses are pretty good.

Are they going to provide these hoses in custom colors? Is everyone in the group buy able to chose their own color?

hard pipe eliminator set sounds nice.

Lindsey Racing has a complete set of 951 cooling hoses for $135 http://www.lindseyracing.com/mm5/mer...OOLINGHOSE944T

Does Samco offer a better quality, fitment, or price than these? I mean, I appreciate a good group buy as much as anyone else, but what's the benefit here? An honest question, I'm not trying to be a PITA.

Samco is pretty much the best quality hose you can get... I am decking the whole new build out in it from brake booster to vacuum to pipe joiners...

Its used in Formula 1, WRC, McLaren...
