[s-cars] RE: Samcos

Marc Samco'd:

<<<Yep, I may sell that one when the new kit arrives.  I'm just concerned
that when I up the boost those other stock hoses could fail.  In
particular I noticed that the hose running to the TB has a relatively
deep rub mark from a hose that crosses in front of it.  I imagine it
would be tough for mhinea to tune an S-car that keeps blowing hoses ;)>>>




Hmmm... tangent here... 

My buddy with that RS2'd car I drove Sat. was showing me how he trimmed the
lower turbo Samco hose.  The 'loop' part that comes off the side of the hose
then goes to the BPV.  He ridded that 'loop', basically just shortened the
path that it takes, but it still maintains that same path.

Any thoughts here for / against doing so?  El Cautious me figures it came
that way from the factory for a 'reason'... but hey, you never know...

C'mon, one of you Engineer Geeks chime in please...  why not...  been awhile
since we've had a heated Torsen / Anti Seize debate...
