As Tony P. has done, i too will be doing the mandrel bent steel lines. I only want to do these one time and hearing about how the aftermarket boost lines eventually rip, i only want to do it once. I will have pics up after they are completed. Should be done next week around wed. or Thurs.

I went with the red 3 inch sleeves from boostcontroller as Tony P instructed.

2x 2.50
1x 1.875
1x 2.00

Cant wait to get this done. Also going to be looking into a custom bent metal intake tube so that i dont have to worry about the intake tube tearing on the bottom side at the intake.

Can you see if whomever makes these for you can make more for any interested parties on here? I have SAMCO but I think SS ones would be sweet too!

Ya ill ask him about it next week. He is 2 hours away from me so if i had 10 people interested, then it would be worth my time going down there and having them made.

So i got a call from boostcontroller today. The 2 inch sleeve is one backorder and wont be here till the end of next week. So might not have them completed next week. we will see.

Would possibly be interested if the price doesn't come back in the unobtanium range

While I'm sure they'll look good I'm wondering why when both Samco and Mishimoto come with lifetime warranty. As far as I'm aware the Samco's are not failing.

I believe some people on here have had the samcos fail.

Well got them made today, unfortainatly i thought the guy i went to had a mandrel tube bender, not the case. I had him make me up a set anyhow. I dont have any pics as of now, but have had no problems with the 120 miles i put on it today. I will say they make more noise under the engine bay then the rubber hoses (they chatter a bit at idle). Did not notice any performance gains.

Sorry to be the guy that sais it, but these were one off and i am assuming everyone on here wnats mandrel bent tube. I will not be duplicating another set. they did however run me only 80 bucks to be made, but i gave him 100 for fitting me in to his busy schedule. So all in all i made out wayyyy better then the samcro and way better then the 250 that tony P paid.

Also the tubes were not stainless steel. Did it on the cheap. should hold up for years

How many samco failures have we seen?

I am not sure how many. However the only thing that can fail on mine is the rubber connector boots. For 24 bucks for all 4, i rather that then 250 dollar boots.
