Samco hose was RE: [s-cars] Miss & whoosh

[Mark Strangways]

I have a 93 CAD S4 (so it's 92 spec) it has +250,000 KM on it.
It has a Garrett GT30R running +30 PSI of boost when on "race gas".

What I can't understand is why all my stock hoses are still working.
I did replace a x-over tube to IC (aka Michelin Man) hose years back but it 
was not due to failure, rather a failed diagnostic....

Based on list content my hoses should be spread all over southern Ontario in 
little bits.
Makes one wonder how bad the quality of parts fell as years progressed.
