Hi peeps,
Just a quick question. I am going to place an order for some silicone hose to run my Renault 5 intercooler. The problem I have came across is the hose size differences?
I have read on the forum that most people use a 45mm hose on the plenum and turbo pipe which I think measures around 47mm. However the intercooler measures 57mm o/d and the only reducer hose that seems to be offered is a 51mm - 45mm.
My question is will I be able to stretch the 51mm hose to fit the 57mm intercooler end?
Many thanks

Might be quite a stretch although on that size pipe it would be quite flexible.

Or just use this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?...Id=290467127012
