How many of you actually use them? I was planning on using them until I did a search on google and they got a bad review by many people, apparently they don't clamp evenly and leak under boost?

Yes for exhausts, no for boost hoses. Foir boost hoses use jubilee type clamps. You can get some really nice ones with an inner ring is you want fancy ones. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

There seems to be a lot I'd mixed reviews, some say you should use mikalor as jubilee types cut into the hose?

I think Paul S uses them, but general consensus is that they will leak in boost hose. Not sure about water, maybe better on smaller tubes.

I've used those on boost/water hoses on a few cars and don't have any problems.

I've got virtually all these on my boost hoses http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACE-T-BOLT-HOSE-...E-/330449404226 Would I be better swapping them? But have you ever pressure tested them ? I dont know how they could ever seal with water. Ive tested numerous times on boost pipes, and they leak pretty badly. Only thing is, as the turbo is shifting so much air, chances of the leaks ever being noticed are slim, unless you do a static test and can actually feel the leaks. You can get thin banded T-bolt clamps which do work well. But a good quality stainless Jubilee or SCS/Higrip equivalent is really all that should ever be needed for most applications. If hoses are blowing off, it's because the pipe design or installation is bad. Breeze also make some "constant torque" worm drive type clamps. Basically a glorified normal type, but they also work well. Ive used them on cars making 35+psi boost with no issues Ensure all pipes are 100% clean and dry before assembly, and the metal pipes have a decent bead around them, either formed or welded ( doesnt even need to be a 360 bead ) and there will be no problems using normal hose clamps. 9.85 @ 145mph

I abandoned using them on exhausts as I couldn't get a seal on a std 998... Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

Mine are fine. But then I use 48 mm silicone hoses clamped onto 2" tube.

And have you done a static pressure test on the system ? It can be surprising the leaks you find. Edited by stevieturbo on 30th Apr, 2012. 9.85 @ 145mph

I think I will just use jubilee clips, with a bead around the pipe they won't go far. Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs
