Can the Samco 80>70mm Blue Hose Reducer be used to connect a turbocharger outlet with a 68mm diameter to a intercooler inlet of 80mm, and how should the 2mm gap between the 68mm outlet and the 70mm hose be managed?
Yes, the Samco 80>70mm Blue Hose Reducer can be used in this application. The 70mm end of the hose will clamp down securely onto a 68mm turbo outlet without much trouble.
However, be aware that if the system operates under high pressure, the slightly looser fit may make the hose more susceptible to blowing off. As an alternative, you could use a Samco 80>65mm hose and stretch the 65mm end over the 68mm outlet. It’s a tighter fit and a bit of a struggle—especially in hard-to-access areas—but may provide a more secure connection.
