What if my upper radiator hose breaks?
fast forward 1-2 years later .
my upper radiator hose is cracking or needs replacement.
now where to buy one? is that hose is shared by other toyota's? or just one off from TRD?

Dont think anybody got what he was trying to say.. The TRD Supercharger comes with a new radiator hose... I dont think the Samco will fit...
Will toyota have a replacement available? Or will he have to go through TRD is what he is asking..

if you notice the SC install by tunerzine they took off the samco hose, even by looking at it. it just seem it wont fit at all.

We helped Samco redesign their hoses. It all fits now. It was an issue with the lower radiator hose not fitting, never the front. Needless to say, both the upper and lower hose fit perfectly now.

the sc hose is a lil longer because it has to go around it.

Honestly I don't think it will. It was an issue before with replicating the OEM hose. A bend was missing with the lower hose. The top and bottom are identical to the original non-sc hoses. I don't think it will fit the SC app, unless the OEM one fits the SC app.

its the same as your brake pads, you cant come back to toyota to warranty for something that goes thru wear and tear.
