So where would a man go to get an upper radiator hose for a TGP. Napa and Pontiac say it is not available...  8)

You may want to try one of the Goodyear stores.  Beware the price will be high.  I'd recommend the one downtown off of Nevada.
2004 GTP -  3.8 Blown - Only modding for MPG.
1997 GTP  - 3.8 Blown - Too many mods to list.
1996 GTP - 3.4 DOHC - Twin to my 1997.
1995 SE - soon to be a 3.8 turbo car.
1990 TSTE x 2 white cloth
1990 TSTE x 1 maroon leather
1990 TGP - 5 speed.

Well it is funny...I went to Checker Auto tonight to return some borrow a tool tools to them and asked to see the N/A Grand Prix hose. He asked why do you want to see the N/A when i have the Turbo GP hose in stock. :shock: I told him that NAPA no longer had them and GM said they were discontinued. He laughed and said...well then the ones I have just went up by 300%. I bought two and he has one more in stock. Check your local auto parts store for them as they may have them. Otherwise I can go to Checker when you find out if you can get one and I will buy it for you and send it to you... 8)  

The extra one I have is reserved for the US ARMY!!  :lol:

Joshua...

Let me know what you find out from them. It may be that NAPA and Pontiac are the only ones who have called it quits on the upper hose... 8)

Thanks TGPilot!  btw, this is probably a stupid question, but is the lower hose different on the TGP?  i haven't done a mock installation of my TGP radiator/intercooler so i'm not sure yet.  i kinda doubt it but...

and i still need a TGP waterneck...

why use the stockers? the aircraft hoses look better, and last longer, all you will need is 2 12'ers they got them at summit racing, www.advanceautoparts.com etc........  and they are flexible! :D
hi-flow intake, straight pipe, dsm bov, 24lb inj,  polished upper intake, turbo, and frt valve cover.
