bargain bucket, or cheap and nasty?
I've ordered a pair of turbo water hoses from them. Couldnt resist at the price.:D
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?

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 :agree:
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.:D
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 ones:cry: and heres me thinking anything is possible in china:cry:
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 just got a reply back from them, they said they can do the hoses in black :yeah:
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 :agree:
these asi hoses are now also available in black, along with red and blue
they also now sell them as full kits -

£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 :agree:
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. :eek:, 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....:D
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 ! :agree:
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 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 :)

Any comment on the quality from someone who's had a set through would be good.
Get a set of vernier calipers, and post the thickness :)

See post #7 in this thread...
how many people have actually purchased these hoses from asi.?
outlaw says :disagree:.
kraig says :agree:.
ganjaman says :agree:.
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 :)

:scared: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.:D
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 http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=2661 but the quility of these hoses are trully(sp) outstanding not every1s taste tho :p
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, :agree:
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 :agree:

Well he's come back to me and is happy to arrange a group buy. He's just working out the finer details and will be back with me soon :D
They can do blue,red,black,yellow,green and orange colours.
He also mentioned that in the next few months they will have a 5 GT radiator and intercooler available :agree:

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:agree:
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 :cool:

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:agree:
The Jap lads have been buying these for a long time, they're as good as SFS/Samco. Total bargain...
