How about clamp sizes?
I'm considering the $50 shop kit of worm gears from www.siliconeintakes.com but something tells me there's way too many big ones and not enough little ones for all the hoses to get just the right size.

Thanks, nice site they've got. I'll have to ponder spring versus worm clamps; I dislike springs personally. They have a way of provoking the full breadth of my vocabulary of invective, and I'm not convinced they can have enough bite against the significantly firmer silicone hoses.
Same problem either way though; I need a rough idea how many of what sizes. 1997 850 with a B5254T.
Anyone able to compare the hoses from siliconeintakes versus those from boostcontroller?
Also doing a PCV kit and Samco intercooler hoses at the same time, but I figured the shop kit of T-bolt clamps would cover both of those, also from siliconeintakes.

HI All,
For the vacuum hoses and elbows, did a list ever get made for the various sizes of hoses and number of elbows?
Thanks
Jack
