For the VTS samco only do the 90degree induction hose and thats it
Sucks really. The VTR they have done 2 coolant hoses for but these are different sized to the VTS
You're better off asking a company like SFS (think thats the right initials) as they will make hoses up. Samco are reluctant to make anything new as they were going to do my hoses for me and then backpedalled

Might be a dull question...
But why use Samco hoses?
is there a gain from them..

very exspensive cosmetic mod. however there are silicon based and are more resistant to heat and wear than standard pipework.

Exactly the same but more widely avaiable than Samco, direct fit and probably cheaper 
Silicone hoses are harder-wearing, help to lower in the bay, stronger and look better that standards
Fairly prices mod but imo worth it if you can find a good kit

VTS coolant set
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SFS-Silicone-C...QQcmdZViewItem
VTS induction hose
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SFS-Silicone-I...QQcmdZViewItem
Just bought the coolant set myself, SFS RRP on these is £150 for the 2.
These people are the cheapest ive found as they offer free postage and at just over £140 its good, compared to Demon Tweeks whos is £176 as they charge for postage
The second one is a really good price too, Samco induction hose is over £70 so its a big big difference considering quality is supposed to be pretty much identical
