I don't know why I am having a hard time with this but I want to make sure I get the right size T-bolt clamps. The effective range of these clamps seem to be so small.
For example, my intercooler piping is 2.5" so I would think I need 2.5" T-bolt's for those connections but, for example, if I look at www.summitracing.com their application for 2.5" T-bolt clamps is a range 2.31 to 2.62. Obviously I am not going to clamp below 2.5" since that is the OD of the piping. Then add on the extra diameter because of the silicone coupler. So 2.62 may not even be wide enough to get the T-bolt over the coupler. So for summit racing's application should I go with their 2-3/4 T-bolt which has a range of 2.69 to 2.87.....then I think that I may not be able to tighten it enough since the smallest it will go is 2.69.
There is also www.partssystems.com which, for example, lists their 2.5" T-bolt with a range of 2.5''-2.81''. This seems like it would work better.
Then their is Atpturbo.com which says go with a 2.75" T-bolt for 2.5" piping
I guess I could just say F-it and go to Napa to make sure I have right size.

Also, when I have asked for "T-Bolt clamps" they have no idea what I speak of. Ask to see the catalog of 3" pipe clamps, and just point out what you want

Boost hose is typically .125" thick. So, if you have a 2.5" pipe, you are going to need a clamp that will open to 2.75". Likewise, for 3" piping you need 3.25" clamps.
I have a bunch of 3.125" clamps that are useless because I can't get them over the 3" boost hose.
