Default What hose clamps do I need/ recommended for a series 1?? Help!!

Hi all, quick question,

i have a series 1 rs turbo and have bought a entire engine set of silicone hoses (ancillary, coolant, boost)

I am unsure on what hose clamp types and sizes I need for the car, as not many dealers are offering a set, unlike the s2 rst, which there are plenty of packs available.

Any help on this subject is much appreciated!!!

NOT the Makalor type ones, they leak like mad!



I had these (and still do in my garage) and replaced them for some APT sorted me out with when I was up there for a power run, got home and fitted them, gained 5psi of boost without changing anything else.... shows how much I was leaking!

The ones I use now look like double width jubilee clips is the best way I can descrbe them.
