That's at the factory end, still needs to get to my end.

I will drop to my knees and bow down before your car after you've installed this kit.

Hella excited for the results too! But i would wanna see it up close for me to be convinced to pick up the kit.

How should suspension and everything else be tuned for this kit?

One thing that doesn't rub me right for this kit is the silicone, I feel like I would have more peace of mind with steel that wont expand contract and possibly collapse on me.

I like the idea of the silicon tubing actually, less possibility for squeaks

I think there's a certain assumption that because we are not going to charge 6-8k, it's going to be some cheapo kit. That's certainly not the case - it's just that there's several factors here, such as economy of scale. We are not planning on selling 5-10 kits a year, we are instead planning to make most of the parts on our factory lines in larger amounts. This brings costs down quite a bit. We are not picking wire-reinforced silicone for the piping because it's cheap - it's not, when you are getting it moulded to specific shapes - we are doing it because it works best for this application. Wire reinforced silicone is *tough*, you could stand on it.

See above.

Is that the case even if you start running higher PSI and power? I mean 5 psi and 250rwhp yeah but with a bigger turbo and somewhere around 20 psi is that tubing still as rigid?

Unleashed · 12-18-2012, 04:46 PM

If these silicone hoses are of the same caliber as others (EVO brand) which I'm sure they are, then they will handle 50 psi

EVO ProClimb/Cross 1100T Silicone Boost Hoses with T Bolt Clamps
Product Description
Product Details

The EVOPS Reinforced Silicone Charge tubes are a great addition to a stock 1100T and a must for higher than stock boost levels or turbo upgrades. Our hoses are twice as thick as the factory hoses and have been tested to over 50 PSI. The included T Bolt Clamps have the clamping power to keep the hoses on - even under extreme boost. Because there are only two hoses and four clamps, we minimize the margin for error and number of failure points. Aluminum charge tubes typically have many more connection points to fail, plus will absorb under hood heat causing higher intake temperatures. All of this plus they look great too!

Will not absorb under hood heat like aluminum
Have been tested to over 50 PSI
Will not pop off like the factory hoses and clamps
A must for high boost applications
Look cool too

Thanks, that's some peace of mind for everyone.
