I replaced the turbo to intercooler hose that had a rip in it today, with Samco hoses. When I tightening the t-bolt clamps I noticed they seem a tad too big. I used the smallest of the four that I got in the kit 2 1/2" #10 metric nuts went on easy. but tightened both all the way to stop. When I get courage and time next month I plan to tackle the weeks delete and the other hose.
Does anyone else think that they could be a little smaller so they could tighten a bit more?

Simply stack some 1/4" or 6mm washers on the stud if you want them to be tighten up more!
Both are available at most hardware stores.
But be very careful, the fitting on the CAC (intercooler) is plastic....to much pressure and it can break or collapse, and CAC's are VERY EXPENSIVE!
Some hints and tricks on hose install.clean connection contact surfaces and inside hose connection contact surfaces real good with alcohol or brake cleaner. Make sure there is NO oil residue on either the contact surfaces before installing hoses.
you can also put a little spray glue or womans hairspray on the contact surfaces to ensure tackiness which will help increase holding power....
