clip size for roose boost hose kit???

[damomcgrath]

can anyone tell me what clip/clamp sizes and how many of each i would need for a roose boost hose kit for a 3b.and what would you recommend as the best type to use.

IM not sure on sizes, but all i can recommend is that you use larger clips than required for regular hoses as the roose hoses will be thicker wall.
I bought mikalor clamps in the past and they were extremely difficult to fit due to the silicone hoses i was using...

I just bought the overpriced clip kit from Roose along with the hoses to save hassle. In fairness,they seem great quality.

I can dig them out for sizes at some point this week as I haven't yet fitted them.

Im about to buy the Roose kit for my 3B. My thoughts are if you have spent so much on hoses, it makes sense to pay a little extra and get the clips that Roose recommend. You normally get what you pay for in life and from the pics, they do look solid and good quality. The hoses are only going to be as good as the clips that hold them in place. Why risk it not being perfect?

Those were my thoughts when buying

Seems like green 3B owners like to bestow love and care on their motors ha ha.

My god it is about to cost me some cash. Just put 12 months tax on, a new orig AKG Aux Rad, 993TT discs and pads, cambelt, water pump and aux belts. Seeing as it is about 2k miles since last service, think I will give it some new blood and filters and treat it to a roose hose kit as I think there is a slight leak somewhere and there are a variety of hoses on it that dont look too clever. I think the mechanic took the hose off the IC when doing the belts and only driven it twice since but it makes a slight whistle now and possibly doesnt feel quite so fast. Turbo maybe sounds a bit tinny to. Pretty sure it is all related and renewing hoses will be a good start as I intend to keep it a long time.

Don't skimp on hose clips, use JCS, Mikalor, Oetiker or similar

Just ordered a set with clips since I will be upgrading to RS2 Spec in future may as well get this done along with timing and other niggly bits. I am spending way too much money on this car, can't wait to get most of it all over with

Are these the same size for an ABY? I have Samco hoses but should probably buy some decent clips....

Dunno bud, maybe the Roose site can shed some light. I would imagine they would be, though....
