Title: silicon hosing please help
Post by: karls3abo on 26 September 2011, 16:26
Hi, first post so far... but been reading a lot of advice and other posts. basically i want to replace all the boost hosing on my 1.8 turbo AUM. and eventually possible after, all of the coolant hosing.

i was just wondering if there were any sites or dealers that people know of that can supply me with a cheap kit for both or one or the other?

was looking to maybe as well have them in a baby pink color... seen it in a scooby and thought it would look fairly unique as i haven't seen that color in a golf as yet???

...

also on another note.... would like as much information as possible for what i would need to get or have done for a stage two remap. for example what am i looking to pay if i have all of it done and fitted by someone or just have the map done and get the parts needed myself?

i know i need a back cat, recirc valve, but what else is essential??? and what am i looking to pay for each... and where is the best place to source from????

thanks in advance hopefully...  :smiley:
