been lookin on cgb, demon tweeks etc!!! they have a decent amount of hose variations but also need solid boost pipes. may end up cuttin up my standard samco boost hoses 4 the d/v outlet and so on, worst comes 2 the worst :scared:

doesn't sound much like the middle to me.
Make sure you get the solid pipes swaged.
is there a tool you can buy to do this?? or where can this be done?Quote:

When i needed pipe work and joiners for my new intercooler i used Rally Design there in Faversham Kent or mail order think its www.raldes.co.uk ;)
you'll need more than decent clamps to hold them when you make boost. I can imagine that you'd easily see 30psi in the pipes when you close the throttle, with a 63mm dia pipe that's 7.8 sq inches, so 233lb trying to pull the pipes apart.Quote:

this is what I used for my water pipes, and some of the boost pipes (although it is too small for that)

that one looks like it'll do the trick. but its abit much to pay for just wanting you pipes swaged.
Umm. Why not just get some small welds put on round the lip ;)
Or get the hairspray out.
My pipes aren't swaged & don't pop off, if you can get it done cheap its worth doing though.
