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
boost hose clamp sizes (roose hoses) mikalor clamps

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.Cheers'en, AndyC

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?
