I would like to point out that it was while riding as a back seat passenger
in Mike's green S4, that my mother was heard saying, to anyone who would
listen, "that man drives too fast".

On a serious note, the best clamps I have found for boost hose applications
are available from NAPA Autoparts. They have a series of constant torque clamps
in various sizes. I use 2 1/2" aluminum hose in my custom FMIC. The clamps I
got were Balkamp 705-1508. The T-bolt clamps are not as good. When fully
torqued, they have a tendency to bend your hose in the shape of a V. I have
purposely over torqued the NAPA clamps and the result was a uniform pinching of the
hose in a 360 degree pattern. They really apply their torque uniformly over the
entire hose. HTH.

Hap, feelin the green in Everboost, Maguire
