Anyone bought these at home depot? I cannot find one. I even go through their catalog and cannot find one. The only one I found was rubber couplings which are for PVCs, not silicone hoses.

Any hint?

Get em from http://www.summitracing.com or http://www.atpturbo.com or any of the other sponsors on here You dont wanna use couplers from Home Depot or Lowes or some hardware store.

Those rubber ones are the ones that alot of people use. I had luck with them up to 10psi, but after that they turned to bubble gum and popped off. Also, if you put them near your manifold (coming off the compressor housing) you will melt it and blow a hole in it.
I ran a 2.5" radiator house cut up as a coupler on the compressor outlet instead. It's always good to have better, but it's fun to be cheap sometimes too. lol. good luck.

I had the rubber on while i was waiting they popped off when i hit bout 10psi I wouldn't recommened them!

Just go to a Boat Mechanic, and get the coupliers they use for boat exhaust, I would think they are far better than the other products on the market.

why not get the couplers that everyone uses for turbo applications. quit looking for alternatives.

your car is not going to last long if you keep cutting corners..

I ran a home depot reducer coupler on one side of the intercooler at 10psi for over a month and am going to do it again. My friend has been running his for like 6 months. Anywhere other than there and I wouldn't run them. Whatever works.

If you're boosting over 8psi I wouldn't go cheap on couplers or clamps. Constantly fixing blown off couplers and couplers with holes is more trouble than it's worth. Having to try and jimmy a coupler back onto a turbo next to a steaming hot manifold is not fun on the side of the road. Try NAPA for T-Bolts, if you get someone who knows the warehouse well they have Balkamp T-Bolt clamps for prices WAY UNDER what the import market sells them for. I worked there and used to pay $4 for a box of 5 tbolts.

you can get from napa which are tough and not that much
