[s-cars] Samco (LAC)

[James Murray (LMC)]

	Ok, I got a hold of them this morning. I was told the tooling was
originally made for the Turbo->X-Over Hose only, then they got a request to
make tooling for the hose that attaches from that to go to the BPV, so the
two are always built separate. I was told pretty much what Chad found out by
himself, they said use a copper of aluminium pipe between 25 to 30mm in
length.

	Some feedback on the MM hose (crossover pipe to intercooler), they
said if at all possible they are avoiding the use of rings on these hoses
because of chaffing. They've done tests and found that over time with
oscillations the rings can break down the outer walls and cause failure. So
they have over engineered them (i.e. increased the thickness) and they have
tested the new MM hose to 12 bar !

	Ann has found some shipping material, and hopefully will be sending
out the remaining hoses this weekend.

	Enjoy your weekend boyz !

	I tried ringing them 5 times this morning but couldn't get through,
I'll try
	again tomorrow! (Don't hold your breath on Samco coughing these
up...I was
	at most hoping they would inform me of the correct size)

	Chad sounds like he's solved the mystery...the coupling that is...no
	comments on the bulge ;-)

	Cheers, /James.

		Kirby & Keith-
		thanks for the help.  I'm going to try the cheap Lowes (Home
Depot)
	route
		first, and then I'll call ECS.

		I think James mentioned he's going to call Samco and find
out...
	just
		haven't heard back from him yet.

		Thanks again,
		-Matt, CT
