heys guys, getting ready to order myself some T-bolt clamps to go with the new turbo and whatnot.

I'm looking to buy from these guys:

but since there is such little adjustability with these clamps, I need to know more or less which specific size I can get away with using.

I was thinking the 2.13"-2.44" would be close to what I need to fit the charge piping/couplers.

Hey, I just spent around 70$ on tbolts (about 25 of them) for various things, just od it like me and measure the silicone!!!!!! once i had ordered a size too small because i was mearsuring the piping (stupid, i know)

yeah thats what got me too. You wouldn't happen to know off the top of your head what the silicone+piping measure to, would you?

Also, where'd you get your T-bolts from?

got em off an ebay seller, i dont remember exactly which. lol.

let me go measure.

Ok... the 2 inch ones you need a little under 2 5/16"

Then for the cast elbow its like closer to 3 inches.

I ordered a ft. before and it was too short, This line the guy said was good to 300 degrees, but I will still be wrapping it with heat wrap. hell, the heater hose i've been using still hasnt melted. as long as the line is nice and tight it wont kink like my last.
