Default intercooler hoses for RS500 style I/C

well i managed to fit the Radtec cooler on my saff 4x4 on saturday!

first bit of proper work i've ever done myself on my car! proud of myself!

although i nearly gave up when trying to remove the bumper until it just slid off!

thing is now the the hoses dont seem big enough from turbo to i/C n I/C to that other bit, is it TPS, intake or what ever

what hoses do i need to get?

bugger that wasted about an hour of my time as well trying to get the fucker off! oh well least i know how the bumper comes off now!

eh should the standard hose's be long enough yeah?

i have samcos on it, they'd been cut down at some point, but for some reason they're not quite long enough for the RS500 cooler

diameter the same tho

I found the same going from a 4x4 cooler (using cut down 2wd hoses), to a Pace RS500 cooler. The end of the i/c tubes are not as far back as the 4x4 cooler ones were.

2wd hoses required.

No it is 2wd.
It just seems as if the intercooler maufacturers put tubes that extend about as far as the 2wd intercoolers reached.
That was my experience with the Pace cooler.
