Intercooler hosing? by con on 21 Dec, 2006 15:21

I'm setting up a front mounted intercooler on my Mk2 GTD and instead of having to buy various pieces to join it all up, I found these flexible hoses for sale on ebay. I was thinking of buying 2 metre long lengths of this to join up the intercooler. Is it suitable? Any help appreciated.

yeah... that is crazy... 2" for like... 80 bucks?! or did they mean feet? :lol: still you could probably pay to get it fabbed up for way cheaper than that.

No by 2" they mean 2 inches in diameter. The hosing is 1 metre long, or about 3.3 feet? But I agree it is pricy...

its not a good price.
my brother just bought a meter something like 45-55mm diameter from Gates (like the belts) i think it was for less than this one...
i ask him tomorow again...
the gates hose he bought is a very strong one for turbos, not a cheap radiator hose or something.
