Mine did that and it died I mean quit like a Union worker on strike. So I had it towed to the shop fearing the worst on to fine out that the "Canadian Clamp" was junk. Peter, the Porsche Mech, put a new clap on it and off it went like a jet.

use the t-bolt clamp and the silcon joints

Thank you all for your advice an experiences. My Mechanic want to use Wiggins clamps:

Bill, how did your mechanic butt weld the hose to the Weld Ferrules?

Chris Prack

Bill do you still have the OE airbox in the car?

Wiggins clamps are overkill, and are you really gonna pay 150 each???

Brian, my mechanic wants to use hard pipes to be able to weld the ferrules.

"Bill do you still have the OE airbox in the car?"

Chris - no it has a K27 with APE Mass air flow with K&N.

"Wiggins clamps are overkill, and are you really gonna pay 150 each???"

Eyal 951 - That's exactly why I asked the question. The Wiggins clamps seem to be the ultimate answer, but at a huge price. I've already replaced the stock rubber hoses, but that did not fix the problem. I just want to be sure that the next "fix" is the right one.

I don't know how to use multiple Quotes in one reply...sorry.

Bill, all you need to do is secure the intercooler pipe to the coolant pipe. The factory had a clamp on the air filter housing if you remember. Since you now have the APE kit on your car the IC pipe will lift under boost and pull out of the hose at the IC since it is no longer held in place by anything but the hoses.

You can resolve this by simply zip tieing the IC pipe to the steel coolant pipe or aluminum water neck under it. If the pipe is tied down it won't come out of the boot.

Try them. They really hold on tight. You can find all kinds of hose clamps at McMaster Carr. You'll find them on page 231.

Good Luck!

Constant-Tension Lined Worm-Drive Hose and Tube Clamps
As temperature changes cause hose and tube to expand and contract, the compressed springs in these clamps increase or decrease the clamp diameter. This automatic compensation for temperature fluctuations reduces leaks and eliminates the need for retightening. Clamps have an extended band that acts as a liner to protect hose covers. Clamps are reusable.
Clamps have good corrosion resistance, except for zinc-plated screws, which have fair corrosion resistance. All have Type 301 stainless steel springs. Band is 0.028" thick. Temperature range is -50° to +250° F. Meet SAE J1508.
9/16" Band Width Clamps— Band is Type 301 stainless steel. Housing is Type 302 stainless steel. Screw tightens with a wrench or 5/16" hex nutdriver. Torque is 50 in.-lbs.
5/8" Band Width Clamps— Band and housing are Type 304 stainless steel. Screw tightens with a wrench or 3/8" hex nutdriver. Torque is 90 in.-lbs.
Note: When choosing a clamp, measure the outside diameter of your hose with the fitting installed.

T-Bolt clamps do the job great, not one blow off since I switched over. It was like 30-40 bucks for 10 of em.
