   Try demon tweeks mate. They only do the rad hose kit and induction piping

   For the VTS samco only do the 90degree induction hose and thats it
   
   Sucks really. The VTR they have done 2 coolant hoses for but these are different sized to the VTS
   
   You're better off asking a company like SFS (think thats the right initials) as they will make hoses up. Samco are reluctant to make anything new as they were going to do my hoses for me and then backpedalled

   Might be a dull question...
   
   But why use Samco hoses?
   
   is there a gain from them..

   very exspensive cosmetic mod. however there are silicon based and are more resistant to heat and wear than standard pipework.

    Exactly the same but more widely avaiable than Samco, direct fit and probably cheaper
    
    Silicone hoses are harder-wearing, help to lower in the bay, stronger and look better that standards
    
    Fairly prices mod but imo worth it if you can find a good kit

    VTS coolant set
    
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SFS-Silicone-C...QQcmdZViewItem
    
    VTS induction hose
    
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SFS-Silicone-I...QQcmdZViewItem
    
    Just bought the coolant set myself, SFS RRP on these is £150 for the 2.
    These people are the cheapest ive found as they offer free postage and at just over £140 its good, compared to Demon Tweeks whos is £176 as they charge for postage
    
    The second one is a really good price too, Samco induction hose is over £70 so its a big big difference considering quality is supposed to be pretty much identical

    Kinda annoyed that my induction hose is a Samco one now, aside from its cost, its standard size to fit in with normal inlet box etc, so for me to get it to fit my Procomp scoop ive got to get the stanley knife out

    I have a samco 90 elbow in black, only £38 from demon tweeks. The only difference is that you have to have some form of catch tank for the oil breather as the elbow has no fitment for it

    Ah now my Samco induction hose is bigger than that and does have the attachment for the breather hose
    
    
    
    I may sell this one on and just get a 90degree elbow then as its a shame to butcher this one and i want to fit a catch tank aswel rather than use the original breather

    You can see how much i had to cut off my both my procomp and the sfs hose to make it fit
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Thats not with standard throttle boddie system mind you so i'm not sure how it would all line up
    
    Case of trial and error im affraid once the engine and slam panel are all back on
