Unfortunately not!! (not all bad news though - see next post)

Those are very old prices and Hose Direct are no longer Samco Dealers.

Hose Direct have also been asked (by Samco) to remove those price lists from their website as they give the impression that they are Samco dealers.

The auxiliary kit in particular looks really cheap but it didn't include the oil cooler hoses then. (It now has 5 hoses and the coolant kit has 8 hoses).

Hose Direct now get their hoses made elsewhere (presumably sfs) and can only supply kits for a limited range of vehicles mostly Ford and Japanese.

Andy passed me those details a few weeks ago. I emailed the prices to Samco asking how/why Hose Direct got such a big discount.

Samco were most interested in any contact details as they were under the impression that Hose Direct had gone bust years previously, presumably owing them some cash...

This is my first but as an ex GTA owner (been without for about 5 years now!!) I have taken to looking on here now and again.

Regarding the turbo/oil cooler hoses, I think these were the PTFE lined s/s braided with metallic attachments. If so I now work for a company that may be able to produce these and I'm sure they'd be at a lower price. If anyone is interested then I can look into this further.

I may not be able to respond for a few days as I am away on business but I can look into this.

Cheers.

Your thinking of the 21 turbo probably, these are just factory silicon hoses, no hoses on the GTA are braided as far as i'm aware

He might be thinking of the oil feed for the turbo and on the cars with a proper oil cooler they have braided pipes.

Yes, that is the braided hose I was thinking of.

Hoses??? Looking for pressure hoses turbo/intercooler for my A610.
The original ones do not like my high boost pressure.

Who does that awesome power job as listed on this page under engine tuning???
I am too silly to find that information.
