[s-cars] Samco vs. other

[PramTT]

I purchased a set (all three) of Samco hose for my S4 when my turbo to
crossover hose decided to relieve itself.  I've only used the  turbo to
IC hose so far since my MTM crossover to IC hose is still OK.  However
comparing the length between the MTM and the Samco, I totally agree, the
Samco looks way to short for proper install.
