Radiator hose charge pipe ? etc.
 

I see alot of you guys just use Radiator hose's istead of steel/aluminium. My question is how do you know which ones work the best ? I mean do you guys just goto a parts store and ask to see all the radiator hose's and pick the best one out by eye or what ? Is there any special one off a car that alot of people us and works great ? Thanks and also car make and model of hose would help me if you do always use certain ones. Thanks again.

Yeah, I have the same problem...
Does anyone know which radiator hose would fit
and IHI RHB5 off a Subaru XT, and an Audi 5000 Intercooler with stock tanks on the other side?
ANy help would be appreciated :)

I know alot of people will usually use maybe the DSM rubber piping or maybe from a Starion. I personally have used radiator hose for couplings but never for charge piping. And I have no idea on part # or make/model.

some people (not me) work in shops and have a box/pile of radiator hoses they rummage threw till they find one that fits, or comes close...

Thanks.., yea I work at a shop to but I don't really have a box that has all that stuff so I guess I may just have to goto a parts store and have them look at me like I'm crazy for why I need the hose's and find the best ones. This is of course if I need to.
