Which hose clamps?

What do you recommend for high(ish) boost applications.

As most of you know, I am (was until a plug failure broke my engine) running a CT355 and reverse IM. I had a couple of issues with hoses popping off from:

DV - I tightened this so much it collapsed the 710N so an Alloy one is needed!
Turbo outet pipe to Wagner IC inlet adaptor.
The adaptor itself where it goes onto inlet of IC

(The adaptor is just a silicon reducer (increaser in this case) which I have used a hose joiner inside.)

T-bolt clamps does the trick for me.
They got a Nice price, good quality and wider width to distribute the 'clamping' force, making it harder for the hose to pop off.

Thanks Anders,

For info, I currently have wide stainless jubilee clips and they were tightened with a ratchet not a screwdriver, so they were ******* tight! I am not sure if the fact they are wide was a hinderance though, as they don't dig in to the hose so it can slide from under the clip?

Are all the hoses you are clamping to have swaging on them? I use T-bolt clamps all round pretty much.
