Little mods during winter months...

[jpflip]

I am planning to do two little (modest) mods . First I am going to order the Samco hose kit which include the intercooler hoses (in red) and the F hose for the diverter valves (Ebay right now $749.00) or should I order agency power ones from Vivid at 719.00 f hose not included. Need to put little color in the engine compartment... I would like to replace the stock diverter valves that can fail according to many owners. I am not planning in the near future to get an increase in horsepower or any ecu flashing etc. Any suggestion for diverter valves that will be good for me. I saw many types (I am a bit confused different springs, different springs colors some got extra port like the agency power etc) but are they all for higher boost or is there any for "normal" operation better than the OEM ones ?....Thanks a lot for your info, J.P.

Do your homework...make sure those hoses fit like OEM....or you will be chasing leaks. I did the EVOMS red silicone hoses and never a problem. Also if you are going to change your intake in the future, this will effect which hoses you should get. As far as DVs go...simplest IMO is the EVOMS DV...no springs to deal with, work great (this is what I would recommend for you). I also have been recommended to use the Forge DVs. Actually have a set in the box. They require using the correct spring to match your tune....ask your tuner for what is desired.

Just did a small visit on your site Wross and I was amazed by your beautiful turbo. Congratulation. House and neighbourhood look also amazing. Thanks for your fast reply. You give me another option to look at and I will do some more search on EVO accessories. Sorry I don't have a tuner and I don't know anyone in my area (Montreal Canada).There are many for Honda Civic but none for Porsche that I know. Like you said some more homework required....Thanks, J.P. (Also Macaddicted)
