Not sure where Alex, but do you really need it, it might be the best part of 300 nicker. You might be best off down the local scrappy getting pipe off turbo diesels, rover turbos, vaux turbos, anything really as long as its charge pipe, between the turbo's and throttle body.
Might be worth trying then seeing what result you first get, then maybe using samco hoses, but as M5pilot says they are top dollar.

Mate, if you can get to the samco factory which is near by here in Market Harborough i believe and you can get boxes of random hoses for filthy cheap, then use what you can and sell the rest on ebay. mate of mine got a box for Ԛ£50 and it had LOADS of hoses in of all different sizes shapes and lengths - well worth it!!!
hope this helps

Hokey doke, cheers guys!
Just been having a look through Lentec's page and he seems to have had some stainless piping bent up to shape, wonder if I could have some ali stuff suitably formed for less than silicon stuff.
Hmmmmm

I'm quite sure that Ant got his pipe work from there too.Turbo-Brown wrote:Ooh, looks like rally design are about 30% less than tweekies. Know who I'm going with
How much are you needing Alex?
My charge pipes are plenty long enough and I only require the silicone pipe to connect it all together. Turbo to charge pipe, pipe to IC, IC to charge pipe and pipe to TB I think...ow and maybe another join for the DV as none of the pipes have a fitting for that, but I do have a T-piece already
