    boost hose clamp sizes (roose hoses) mikalor clamps

    looking to replace all my boost hose clamps with mikalor supra clamps, i have roose boost hoses so im pretty sure i can accomodate the extra width that the mikalor clamps provide. So im looking for the sizes required for each of the connections, including the mark h mod, i know sizes were posted before in the group buy thread but that was for boost and water and didnt specify which was which. Also i dont know if they were for stock hoses or roose/samco etc.? I assume the roose hoses are going to be larger (diameter when fitted) than stock rubber ones? Also where is best to buy them/price wise

    I'd buy a new set of clamps direct from Roose then you can be sure you get the right sizes.

          The ABY boost clip set includes the clips for Mark H mod, as this hose comes with the hose kit

          You'd need SERIOUS boost to blow a hose off with these clips

            Having tried both Jubilee and Mikalor, the Jubilees worked better and fitted the stock hose positions (Samcos) so much better. The Mikalor big ******s were too big for most of the hoses and so didn't fit properly and leaked, I even blew one off the XM and thought I'd minnced the engine from all the thuds and crashes it made as it bounded off the underside of the car, basically stranded me so I had to limp to a garage and get some jubilees that saved the day and are still on there. Your money though, might have more luck than me.

            Basicall Mikalors are too wide for stock TB, MAF, all N75/breather, they fit the XM, turbo outlet and IC inlet fine but the rest are tight.

              thanks for that, i did see your post to similar effect in the group buy of these clips some time ago, and assumed you were talking about them being to wide for the standard rubber hoses...
              I think what ill do then is just buy the ones for the XM, turbo outlet and IC and live with jubilees on the rest

              with the jubilee clips, should they be as tight as i can make them, or just tight enough? will to tight make the clip pinch the hose?

                The clips Roose supply for ABY/ADU boost hoses are Jcs s/s hi torque-hi grip.

                I didn't find them to wide anywhere

                  were talking about the Mikalor Supra clamps though

                    Was the Roose bit that threw me, the kit they show on their site is jcs, these are still 15mm wide with 7mm hex and like I mentioned, seem plenty solid
