In you case it worked. But most Porsche owners do not wrench and don't even know how to insall them let alone do a pressure test. Wem shops put them on they never check for boost leaks. Btw both of clients are 6 speed members too. So it's real.
Good hoses cost are $500 let alone real. To Cnc the aluminum fittings alone is at Least $35 each assuming you have a cad drawing and do 100 of them. There are 6 in a set. No we can't compete with china on price but on quality no doubt. I rather sleep well at night that my hoses do not leak and do not need boost leak testing. But If one is putting on Chinese hoses then im saying no porsche owner just waste $250 because they do not offer any benefit. None. Look inside a samco hose and you will aprreciate quality. Btw I dont sell them just letting you know.

I never implied that you sold them, but i'm sure you have a preference. I thought about getting samco hoses, but then read about all the fitment headaches everyone on here was having w/them and I just didn't want to deal w/taking my car apart and having hoses that didn't fit, or didn't fit just "right". I agree w/what your saying but a company like forge or samco strives on making just hoses..so you'd have to be a fool to try and reinvent the wheels when someone already has.
I appreciate your knowledge when it comes to the p-car, you def know your ****, and actually i've used alot of your advise when comes to my own car as far as problemsolving and fact-finding. I just couldn't see myself spending a fortune on boost hoses..."my opinion". Keep up the good work...

I would have pressure tested them either way; just for the peace of mind.

No problem.. BTW, I solved myself the issue with the Forge hoses... They are aware of it... it was nothing more then adding the longer aluminum adaptor on both upper IC to hose sides... done deal...
