Believe it or not, I ordered new clamps from Porsche for the upper and lowers and they are now Breeze clamps (or breeze-like). Both of my bottom ones were stripped.
Not to say that anyone would overpay Porsche for the same thing I did, but in case you were wondering whay the OEM offer is now.

Quadcammer,
I was able to use straight sections of pipe by using the appropriate transition couplings on the ends. The two couplings at the turbos are actually 1-3/4" 45 degree elbows. The coupling on the left side of the intercooler is a 45 degree reducing elbow that goes from 2.5" to 1-3/4". The coupling on the right side of the intercooler is a straight reducer from 2.5" to 1-3/4". I used the tee bolt clamps. They aren't pretty, but they work well. The pipe I used was actually just thin wall electrical conduit - EMT that I painted black. I ordered some thin wall polished stainless pipe to upgrade the look, but haven't gotten around to installing it yet. Total cost for all of the parts was a little over $100 and it has been working great. Let me know if you need any additional info. Incidentally my car is a 1989 930 with a 993TT motor, but I don't see where that would make any difference in the hoses we are talking about.

My 993 tt already had the orange hoses and one of the end are slightly damage and I'm searching for different alternatives.
