bargain bucket, or cheap and nasty?
I've ordered a pair of turbo water hoses from them. Couldnt resist at the price.
That was about 2 weeks ago, and still nothing as yet though.
But when they do arrive, i'll update!
Ive seen these aswell, wonder how the quality fairs compared to samco/sfs?
Probably end up being 3mm walls or something,Originally Posted by Brigsy
someone thats buying a set is gunna get back to me about the quality and maybe a better deal so i'm holdong out for now. i hope they're good'ns, massive bargain if they are
Awesome!!!! they even have the 'CRAB' hose set in stock!
UPDATE.
Hoses arrived a couple of days ago.
Bargain, good quality and seem pretty well made.
I have an almost complete SFS set in my car and was missing the two turbo hoses.
These are spot on, same colour and for £33 i cant complain.
Come from China though so don't expect next day delivery!
do they sell the boost hoses?? Link??
Just had a quick look.
They have only got red turbo coolant hoses on at the moment, but when i ordered my blue ones they had a fair few different hoses on and im sure they had boost hoses (around £70). Maybe worth sending the seller a question.
Heres the link for the red ones that are on at the minute

i asked asi-performance if they could make black ones but said they only have the red, blue and yellow onesand heres me thinking anything is possible in china
what do you say folks?? is anyone after a replacement set of hoses in black to retain the OE look..? maybe if they get enough requests they will make them ?

i was gunna go for blues but i'd prefer black actually. i'm gunna send 'em a question about it too.
i just got a reply back from them, they said they can do the hoses in black
me thinks these will be getting ordered.
yes, i also asked and got a reply back from them a few days ago. they said it will take them 3-5 days to make them up in black
£177 buy it now - Fair play, that's a bloody good price compared to Samco & SFS!
you are right mate, but the quality of the cheap hoses is really crap, my opinion, your better off with samco or stock
Did you order a set?
i`ve always had samcos in the past, but this time round, i went for the cheaper ones of ebay, (red). i fitted all of them apart from bottom rad and matrix hoses. had a look at them the other day, as i was going to fit them, the red hoses are transparent, i can see through them, it looks like someone has just added the colour to a cheap hose., does look like a proffesional finish, and they are new, but quality looks naff. have`ent taken the car out yet.... i`m probably not going to fit those hoses that are left over, going to have buy new standard ones or samcos for my own piece of mind...i paid £190 all in through ebay, looks like i`m going to have to spend a little bit more....
They not have a warrenty on them? like the full sets in the links above.
Im fairly tempted. What about a possible group buy for thoes interested?
I have a set of turbo coolant hoses from these people, they seem fine to me. Do the job nicely and look nice while doing it. They even accepted my best offer !
There was another person recently on Ebay selling unbranded red hose sets, never got to try them but they really did look cheap and nasty.
Is that the hoses from the Ebay company Raj linked to, or another company?i`ve always had samcos in the past, but this time round, i went for the cheaper ones of ebay, (red). i fitted all of them apart from bottom rad and matrix hoses. had a look at them the other day, as i was going to fit them, the red hoses are transparent, i can see through them, it looks like someone has just added the colour to a cheap hose.
I've just contacted the seller to see if he'd be willing to arrange a discount to us or for a bulk buy. Will let you know what he says
Beltin! D4WNO is on it already!I've just contacted the seller to see if he'd be willing to arrange a discount to us or for a bulk buy. Will let you know what he says
Cracking idea Dawno, i might get a set of these for the van.
Yeh.. Think I'll get some too.. in black
Any comment on the quality from someone who's had a set through would be good.I've just contacted the seller to see if he'd be willing to arrange a discount to us or for a bulk buy. Will let you know what he says
Get a set of vernier calipers, and post the thickness

how many people have actually purchased these hoses from asi.?
outlaw says.
kraig says
ganjaman says
they LOOK ok going by the pics.
I'm getting the impression that Outlaw hasn't bought from this particular seller where as Kraig has. Just waiting to hear back from prices from the user now, see if he offers us anything useful
I did hear you were into cheap rubber an silicone gear.........I'm getting the impression that Outlaw hasn't bought from this particular seller where as Kraig has. Just waiting to hear back from prices from the user now, see if he offers us anything useful
I'm interested also, but am a little dubious, you really do get what you pay for these days, although for that price, who's complaining!
Fcuk it put me down for a set, for red, hopefully there withstand engine temps, and not melt.
dont seem a bad price considering i paid close to £400 for my samcos in lime green and i brought 2 sets full apart from the boost hoses check out my for sale section https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=2661 but the quility of these hoses are trully(sp) outstanding not every1s taste tho
i bought these hoses from a powerseller on ebay, he is not linked to any rtoc member. the seller would not know the quality of the item as there all packaged and sealed. i may have made them sound worse than what they are, ( if you get 1 bad hose, all 14 get a bad name) you will have to make your own minds up? heres a pic of the bottom rad hose,
Given that those hoses aren't from the same company that Raj linked to, I still say they're worth a punt for £177.
Good darts Dawn on sniffing out a possible club discount deal
Buy cheap pay dearly.
4.5mm apparantly, quite a bit of info on google when i had a quick look. Various colours available aswell.Any comment on the quality from someone who's had a set through would be good.

Really good deal that, I'm out of this one now though as I've bought one of the samco' sets from Eddie/Nath YESTERDAY
Seen a couple of these hoses in the flesh, the quality is as good as most of the top brand silicone, seriously can't fall off at the price. The bleed nipples are the good ones, exactly the same as the sfs type.
yup, cant fault the price, all they need to do now is add the 2 boost hoses
What no boost hoses?? u seriousyup, cant fault the price, all they need to do now is add the 2 boost hoses
They do other hoses too, if anyone is interested in any of this lot then I'll get a deal done on those too
http://search.stores.ebay.co.uk/Asi-...533959QQsofpZ0
how many hoses are in a complete set? i no there is 15 in the set foresale but im sure i have more than 15 in my engine bay, so what other hoses will still need to be bought?
thats pretty much all of them mate, if i remember correctly. you just need your boost hoses now
The Jap lads have been buying these for a long time, they're as good as SFS/Samco. Total bargain...
