I got some at the start of the summer, 75mm diamiter if your using standard IC etc. I got a 500 mm length and that was enough to do all the conection pipes (from the Y pipe to the intake elbow) with a spair joint just incase one goes in the future, I was cutting them at 70mm lengths using a sharp stanly knife.
If everything is standard like mine is, the guy who sold me it sujested going for 4ply water pipe instead of the 5 ply turbo pipe, as it can stand more than 1.2 bar pressure (more than enough to cope with boost) and it was £46 deliverd of I remember correctly, a damb site cheaper than the official turbo pipe from Samco £70 - 80ish if I remember correctly!!!
Hope this helps

We have 5 colours and hundreds of sizes, water kits are available off the shelf, no kits made for boost or intake although if you want kits could be made, but difficult as not many stock fd's left out there.Take off the hose and measure the bore, or if we had a doner car kits could be made from there.
