got a greddy kit and need to "freshen things up".i need all couplers for the kit and greddy fmic,and the pan return fitting that looks like this and this any help will be appreciated.if you know where i can get the couplers in dallas,i can pick up,or heard somthing about "home depot"couplers,did a search and came up empty.thanks for all the help.doug

 

dont buy the home depot couplings unless you like to fix blown off i/c pipes all the time....if you want to go the "cheaper" route, you can go to napa autoparts and they sell big *** long rubbing tubing by the foot thats used for radiator hoses or some crap that is braided in the center and really thick. it works perfect...its usually behind the counter so you'll have to ask...depending on what side you need its around $10-$15 per foot, but its good ****.

you can also get the nice colored silicon couplings from any turbonetics dealer...other then that im not sure but theres prolly more places

i used those on my setup. they're awesome. rated up to 52psi

 

ive blown off my "home depot" **** 5 times in two weeks. i resorted to putting beads on the ends of all my pipes. go radiator stuff if you low on cash. i wish i would have and prolly still will

 

any industrial hose supply shop will have real silicone rad hoses. Use that. But its expensive. Like a dollar per inch or more.

For the hoses, turbohoses.com is nice, but I think they're way overpriced. They don't sell the right size reducer for the throttle body. When I ordered mine, they recommended I put a hose inside a hose so that's what they sold me. Try hosetechniques for a better price.

http://www.hosetechniques.com/

Turbohoses uses fiberglass in their hose, and hosetechniques uses aramid, which is the material used to make kevlar. Fiberglass is cheaper, but as for what material is better for this application, each company of course claims what they use is better. Who knows?

I would also recommend getting different hose clamps so the silicone doesn't get extruded through the holes and damage the hose. Avoid T bolt clamps because it can damage the aluminum piping. Either use liner clamps or constant torque clamps made by Breeze, which you can get here:

These are the clamps that turbohoses.com sells, but much cheaper. Some of the clamps have a minimum order of 10, but if you call partssystems they might be able to break it up for you.
