Boost hose clamp diameter ?

[Bradderz_1988]

Right the Frankenturbo order has finally been placed and I also want some new hose clamps aswel but what diameter clamps do I need ?

Also can i definitely run the FT on the stock ecu without having any problems/issues ?

Thanks

Anyone no the clamp diameter as I want to get them ordered for saturday as I've got a few bits n bobs I need to do on the car ??

 

[aragorn]

which clamps?

 

[Bradderz_1988]

The boost hose clamps on both bottom hoses and IC to manifold pipe.

 

[aragorn]

The clamps on the lower steel pipe and the turbo are "40-60x9"
The two clamps on the OEM intercooler are "50-70x9"
The clamp on the TB is "60-80x9"

Converted by paypal was £771 and some pence havent a clue about import duties as yet but hoping there isn't any !!
Also got a free t-shirt and I asked about a window sticker but they said they do badges instead so doug said they will make sure they include one !!

Will the maf size restrict potential power by much do you know

 

[Bradderz_1988]

I think yes but not sure I should see around the same power i think on the stock ecu maybe a tad more because of the decat until i sort out the injectors, MAF, FMIC and a remap, but should spool quicker and hold peak boost longer but it's my first turbo car and my first go at tuning something so I'm no master of performance just going with it and hoping the outcome will be worth it !!

You'll almost certainly get hit with VAT at 20% and a little import duty on top assuming the customs declaration was completed correctly.

MAF will start becoming restrictive at some point above around 220hp i'd recon. You'll absolutely need a 3" housing to get the most from an FT.
