I was looking at that the other day but got confused as to which ones I needed :S

Not sure about colour either may just go for black to tie in with the car.

drop this guy an email - adecaux@sfsperformance.co.uk

his name is Anthony and he's the guy who previously worked for Samco - met up with him last Friday as he lives in Cardiff and i wanted to know what vacuum tubing i needed so met up with him

i've gone for blue and i've just ordered the airbox pipe in blue but going to keep the vacuum tubing black  :smiley:

See I don't want blue as it's common, not sure on red so that really only leaves black. So I'm thinking is there much point?

Thanks for the email address though!

myself i would have preffered a darker blue but bought mine 2nd hand so can't really complain

you'll find that most of the pipes have been re-designed to improve airflow as well as being stronger under higher boost levels  :nerd:

deffo d the vacuum tubing as this tends to split and crack over time leading to performance losses which are almost impossible to track down!
