v-band clamps are not that great for IC use since the engine moves..
You need something that can take the movement, such as the wiggins clamp above.

T bolt clamps work great for me except for the TB. The mating area is very small so the stock worm clamp gets right down in the groove.

Not to mention the immense pain you will feel when you jam one of the clipping ears on a Wiggins into the end of your finger, middle of your palm, or your forearm is always a nice soft spot too... Trust me, been there, done that, and seen Wiggins clamps fail at well bellow the 30+PSI a 951 can be made to handle...

I've had great luck with t-bolts too. if you use t-bolts and flare/bead the ends of the pipes then I don't see you having any problem with any boost levels you'd run on a 951.

Also, most people don't know, but you can buy t-bolts at your local NAPA store for like $2-3/pc.

Check out Oetiker stepless screw clamps from www.aircraftspruce.com. Stainless, can't strip, and narrow enough to fit into TB groove.
