I need to purchase some couplings and possibly T-bolt style hose clamps. Anyone have any recommendations on good places to pick these up?

 

Also it add a question that I'm wondering.....are the silicone ones better than rubber and if so why???

STEPHEN

 

Silicone definately hold up to heat better.

Seems all the silicone couplings I have found are either red or blue anyone found them in black?

 

To my knowledge, here are some retailers that carry SIlicone Couplings.

www.bakerprecision.com
www.phase2motortrend.com

Also, you may want to try:

www.turboneticsinc.com
www.innovativeturbo.com

These companies design turbos and most likely carry couplers as well.

 

Umm, if you are not fussy about not having a trick name brand on the couplers, you can get silicone rubber rad hose from a heavy duty truck parts store, and cut it into coupler lengths, I have seen it in blue, and red, they also usually sell t-bolt clamps, in my neck of the woods, the store is a NAPA affiliate called "traction heavy duty parts"...Max

 

www.hostetechniques as well...just purchased a bunch from them and they're quality.

How's she running? I should be fully tuned by the end of the week. It's been a loooong process.

 

I got a couple of mine from the local Big Big trucker store.They have blue,I asked them for some and they didn't even charge me for 2 feet worth

 

try www.a-spectuning.com theyre a Samco distributor
they have loads of samco stuff in-stock and 2.75 couplers in blue and T-bolt clamps

through my experience the Samco line is the best out there

good luck

Turbohoses.com has by far the best pricing out of most of the above mentioned. They shipped and actually had decent customer service. WOW! You can even purchase more than you need and return it for no restocking fee, you just have to pay shipping back however. Ask for Hoover (I know I know but he's the contact I had).

Baker Precision was a complete pain in the a@@ to deal with and they won't let you order over the phone, only online, and charge a restocking fee.

 

Anyone ever found any in yellow? I'm looking for something a little different.
