Roose Motor Sport silicon hose induction/boost kit

[Colin Aitchison]

Well I am not very happy with one of the silicon hoses, the MAF to turbo inlet hose also has a spout for the crank case breather that runs round the rear of the engine and run up the right hand side of the engine and turns into the middle of the hose, the spout in the Roose hose is about 20mm to low and at the wrong angle, what do you do, I have two hoses that have been patched by passed owners and on high boost one of them is hissing, ok, remove the hoses and send them back, fat chance, get the TIG out and find some like sized pipe, it will only take a couple of hours, more like 4 hours with painting.
The photo below has all 5 new hoses and 4 old hoses, pipe 3 and 4 from the left is the MAF to turbo pipe, notice the spout half way down is lower in the new pipe, this will not fit in the engine bay, as for the reducer pipe in the middle at the bottom if anyone knows where is goes please tell me because I can't find it.

This photo shows you how much the spout is out.

Mounting bracket fitted and painted, looking nice.

Then you fit the rest of the pipe work and you can't even see it, well at least i know I did my best.

My advice if you have a S2 with the B3 engine do not buy the Roose hose kit.
