Alta Intercooler Couplers R56

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone here knows where to find the couplers for the Alta FMIC(R56) as all the ones I find online say they're for R53s...not sure if they would be the same.
Would appreciate a quick response as I'm about to purchase the Intercooler itself, thanks!!

The R56 uses hoses not couplers. We would use the Forge hose or NM hose as the alta sets we've seen rub on the fan and get damaged easily.
And the Forge for the Turbo outlet cold side

We also have intercoolers for whichever you want.

But you can use the stock rubber hoses no problem with our res delete for a cost effective solution

Awesome thank you,as for the hot side I believe I have an alta hose to delete the muffler already,would the only other thing i need is the forge hose for the cold side? Because im planning on purchasing a few things from your website such as the DdmWorks RIS and Cravenspeed short shifter so if this is the case i would just buy all 3 together.

Yes the forge hoses only replace the rubber parts on the cold side as the main pipe is molded plastic to fit around the frame and engine.
