Good luck. Installed properly, (on silicone hose) they're teriffic. Most folks can't/won't put 'em on correctly, so they blow off or leak.

Easily the trickest clamping are these (expensive) billet compression clamps from Pi-thon design, inc. Exhaust, hoses, etc. See their website at: http://www.pi-thon.com/

I have had really good luck with stainles steel T-Bolt clamps.

Although not this brand, they are the same.

I've been using these Constant-Torque (http://www.breezeclamps.com/ct.htm) on my turbo (~25 psi, although the barbed end of the tubing is critical in keeping the hoses on ;) ) for a few months with good results...they are more expensive than worm style, but a little easier to use than t-bolt and keep the same tension hot or cold...

Does anyone know where to purchase Breeze clamps online? I need several in specific sizes, and haven't had much luck tracking them down.

Have you seen the heat shrink type that Gates has?
I used these on my heater hoses and I think they look really cool. The clamp is gloss black heat shrink band thats almost invisible after its installed.
