SAMCO group buy is ON!!!

**astris** · 08-10-2004 02:54 PM

OK, here it goes. This is going to start for the B6ers only.

The retail price for the hose kit is $297.80. For the group buy we will need 10 people for a price of $190 plus shipping, which should be around $10-15 dollars or less. The kit includes 3 boost hoses and high quality hose clamps. Your choice of black, blue, or red. There is also no tax.

The group buy is provided by Matrix Integrated who is a registered Audizine advertiser. They are an excellent shop with many satisfied customers on this forum (including me). This shop has great customer service.

Everyone who is serious about this please let me know though PM or Email ([email protected]), as I will be heading up this GB. If you want in send me some contact information and I will add you to the list.

Thanks,
Kris

**astris** · 08-10-2004 03:03 PM

Well cough up some dough and get in on it already!

**HyperM3** · 08-10-2004 05:54 PM

What exactly does this do for you other than look good. Or am I missing that point?

***Anthony*** · 08-10-2004 05:59 PM

Excellent Anthony! That should definitely help out the response.

Why not see if we can combine the two and maybe knock the price down even more (not that it isn't awesome already)

The price can go lower if we can get more than 10 B6 people. The price is already awesome though. I'll see what I can do.

SoCalAgentMSK, so are you in???

**SoCalAgentMSK** · 08-10-2004 08:32 PM

Right now I'm a maybe. I need brakes and tires so I'll see what I got after those are taken care of. AWESOME deal though, pretty much 33.33% off! If you hit the 10 people the price will be insane.

**madrussian** · 08-10-2004 08:37 PM

Got a list of whose in or not???

Put me down for maybe.

Also any idea how much lower if more than 10?

**G_A4** · 08-10-2004 08:57 PM

**S4audi_SD** · 08-10-2004 10:49 PM

I also wouldn't mind seeing a B5 Samco hose group buy.

**Silence** · 08-11-2004 12:52 PM

Umm? http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/...productID=3355

Hmm $199.00 for GB.
$195.00, no groupbuy.

Decisions, decisions.

***Anthony*** · 08-11-2004 01:11 PM

Well until ECS is an Audizine Advertiser, spend a few extra bucks and support those that support Audizine!

Well, with the group buy there is no tax and your choice of color. After tax the ECS price will actually cost around $10 more. Plus, like Anthony said, you are helping out Audizine.

**astris** · 08-12-2004 10:17 AM

Price and info update coming this afternoon.

**LAS** · 08-12-2004 05:35 PM

actualy pic too, if possible.

**astris** · 08-12-2004 08:41 PM

Price for the group buy is now $190! That is the cheapest price anywhere.

Hey S4Avant,

Send me an email if you're interested in heading up the B5 Samco GB and we can get it started. :)

Best regards,

Can you please explain what the performance benefits there are, if any?

Thanks.

**Crisqo** · 08-14-2004 10:09 PM

I'd be interested in a B5 GB as well...

Here is some info on the hoses from Jeremy@Matrix.

"The Samco silicone hoses are much more durablethan factory hoses. The factory rubber hoses have been known to tear or rupture after time. Since the Samco's are constructed of stronger materials, they are not prone to failure like the stock units. Samco's are also available in different colors (black, blue, red are the most popular) so your engine bay can be personalized that way if you prefer as well."

This is a great addition for all you people with chipped cars. These hoses can handle additional boost with virtually no hose expansion.

Why is this the hardest question to answer ever?

**Crisqo** · 08-15-2004 08:31 PM

Wouldn't the hoses from a B6 fit the same on a B5....
as the engine is similar if not the same...

^^^^ Look directly above your post.

If you want more information email Jeremy@Matrix

Close, but not the same.

Wheres the performance in that?

**jeremy@matrix** · 08-17-2004 04:31 PM

The performance is in the reliability.

Have you ever been caught in the middle of nowhere with a ruptured boost hose? It's no fun and doesn't allow you to get where you want to go very quickly.

Ever have a tiny pinhole in one of your hoses that bleeds positive pressure(or coolant) and is a real PITA to find? No fun either.

We've had plenty of customers with these type of issues. The remedy? Pull the bumper, load the car on our in-house Mustang AWD dyno to simulate road conditions, and look for the ruptured hose. At $150/hr of dyno time and $68/hr of technician time, this isn't cheap.

The Samco hose kits are much more cost effective in that regard and can prevent these incidents. In my mind, that is where the performance lies.

HTH.
Best regards,
Jeremy

***Anthony*** · 08-17-2004 05:24 PM

I've had too many hoses blow/tear/fail in my A4 to count. If I was going to keep her, the next mod would definitely be a Samco hose kit.

So is that a definate NO?

do you have a pic of both to compare?

Yes, definite difference. They are not the same, B5 to B6 A4 1.8T.
Sorry.

**Rieger_RS4** · 08-18-2004 04:08 PM

that sucks!

I guess no love for the B5.

Oh I got love for the B5 brotha. One look at our silver racecar and you'd know we have lots o' love.

As I have told a few on this thread, if someone takes charge of putting together a B5 GB, we have no issues hosting it.

So far, no one has stepped up.

**awl18** · 08-19-2004 07:11 PM

I seem to recall that there were some fitment issues with the Samco kit for 99.5+ A4's. Is this accurate?

How many people would you require to make a groupbuy worthwhile?

Sorry, I was referring to B5 S4's as far as a B5 Samco group buy goes. You beat me to a new post before I could modify mine.

We still have lots o' love for the B5 cars, but you are correct---there are some Samco fitment issues with some of the B5 A4's, which is why at this time we are not offering the B5 A4 Samco kits. Once Samco fixes the issues we would be more than glad to do a group buy on the B5 A4 hose kits.

Again, sorry for the confusion. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Best,
Jeremy
