I have had a couple of emails now asking "Where did I get my Samco hose kit"!

Basically I am currently doing testing for Samco on a new hose kit which should be due for release mid to late Jan (TBC)
These hose kits will replace the standard hoses on 996TT & GT2, which to be honest suck bigtime! It has been an ongoing process over the last couple of months with just the connections to get final tweeks now. They will be released in a range of colours Red, Blue, Black and I will tell you know that these are very good constructed kits! (everyone knows Samco)

I will try and keep you guys constantly updated!

If you go for Samco get them in black as they fade like hell. SFS would have been a better bet imho.

I have had Blue hoses before, I would say they slightly faded but just due to our crappy road conditions etc, maybe it depends how much these are exposed!

Seriously though, have you tried SFS hoses? They make all sorts of stuff and supply most WRC teams, they did me a full set of hoses (28 in all) for my R5 Turbo for £400.

Cool, I totally believe you, but I have had Samco most of my days and I stand by these.

Can't knock you for that, just another option I suppose, however I wouldn't think saving a tenner here and there would bother a Porsche Turbo owner.

Steve, hows the testing going? Havn't spoken to you for a while. Has Anthony had the new ends made yet?

Sorry Gaz, but I would always choose Samco over SFS. Thier quality is always superb and I have seen too many variations in SFS quality and fitment. Don't get me wrong SFS make some good hoses but Samco always delivery a quality product every time.
