I need help on what type and size clamps (website would be awesome)...people are useing turbo pipping...seems for like my clamp is streeped and won't hold good....at the same time are there clamps better then those of the shelf ones we have....I'm on stock turbos....thanks big time.....

 

T clamps are the best - put them on and forget about them. I got mine from amazon can't remember the size i used as i got a bunch of different ones.

Yes those t clamps are great just wish I could get right width so I can fit them right in that groove...does anyone know good torque # or do we go as tight as possible..

 

Has anyone tried a t-clamp on the charge/Y-pipe coupler? Any idea what size that is?

 

74 mm I believe

 

Hmm..that seems a bit small to me...less than 3". I am talking about the y-pipe merge to the throttle body, not where the intercooler hoses connect to the charge pipes. In any case, I'll try to measure tonight and post up.

 

I use this style for the intercoolers. They work well.

 

Yes... Have you seen the bottom of your turbo do you bolt them right around the groove... How tight size and where...thanks... Spring loaded are the best

 

These are the narrow beveled ones like OEM that you will want to use if possible. They will fit down in the grooves. Good luck.

I use them top and bottom of the coolers and on the turbo inlets. For the plenum only the thin ones like rock showed will work and the throttlebody hose I use wide high torque ones. I just bought new ones when I did them.
As far as how tight.... really tight and I go over the grooved area. Usually when all the rings stop spinning your good. Size wise I just matched up the old ones but I think they were around 2".

 

I have a spare y-pipe/throttle body coupler so I did some quick measurements. You can see the outer circumference for the y-pipe end as well as the throttle body end here -- just under 30 cm and 35 cm, respectively. The outer diameter (not pictured) is 4" and 4.5".

 

Absolutely.

Breeze fully-lined constant torque clamps are the best I've found. I've had too many boost hoses blow off with T-Bolt clamps.

The T-Bots are too wide,... so they don't sit in-between the groove of the turbo. Instead they sit on top of the ridges,.. and allow your hoses to blow off.

The Breeze constant torque ones are the correct width,.. and the thing that looks like a stack of washers is really a spring. It allows the boost-pipes to expand and contract, while still maintaining the correct clamping force at all times.

 

They make t - spring loaded clamps also... What's the correct breeze clamps size or web page thanks... Like a size to really get in that groove like you mentioned

 

I'm looking at these clamps ... What's everyone's opinion ..

 

all i use...has so many issues with standard clamps when we put the turbos and intercoolers on....... t clamp 1 time and forget about it
