Mikalor clips or not?

[Kaine19]

Fitting pro alloy intercooler and cts pipes on friday. Will the standard clips be fine or will they just come off with boost? Few people have used standard and fine but not with the cts pipes. Are the ones on the car ok to re-use?

Mikalor clips are the most sturdy so I would use them. Does the intercooler inlet and output pipes have a bead on them? This will help.

Yeah just looked, they have like a little ridge

Mikalor clamps are usually for exhausts, I used to use JCS High grip stainless hose clamps that use worm gears so you can get the clamp extra tight without it rounding like normal jubilee clips do

My only problem is will i get them by friday and what size to get

You'll have to wait and measure the o/d of the piping.
