Default The one I used had one hose that was close to too short to make it work...

...that would be the hose connecting the passenger side IC to hoses/pipes coming off of the turbo. That IC is tilted to the side at least 20 degrees to make it fit.

Default if you plan on using the actual Samco kit for the S4 and making that work with the RS4s, not gonna

happen. I had the entire Samco hose set on my S4 and eventually took everyone off minus the f-hose. If you can try and get the APR hose kit.

Default Right... I was saying other than the bumper support there is really no cutting except for some

grinding on the rad support with a dremel and some cutting for the 16" fan if you put it in. I agree though the bumper support is pretty much useless after cutting for the FMIC.

Default OEM hose broke my pressure pipe attachment

Too long - pushed the pipe right into the fan & made a nice boost leak. I had to fabricate a brace & cut the hose short.

Default None here... really nothing to be concerned with.

A little trim here plus bumper and under tray and that's it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.andersonmotorsport.com/Products/ByModel/S427t/Project-S4b/project-s4b.html">http://www.andersonmotorsport.com/Products/ByModel/S427t/Project-S4b/project-s4b.html</a</li></ul>

Default Waiting for a call back now--will ask. Where do you live? It is a full kit, so I think.

the answer to your question is, yes. here's what I was told was included:

2 IC cores
2 sets brackets/hardware
2 shrouds
1 lower pressure pipe for passenger side
set (4) Samco race hoses (made spec'd for RS4 kit)
with 8 clamps and all mounting hardware

Is something in addition to the above needed besides tools, etc. ?
