Mikalor clamps. Check out Autospecilists site as they do a kit for your boost pipes. If the sizes are there then check around to see if u can get them cheaper elsewhere.

NOT Makilor clamps! 
lol
I ran them for two years until Christian said in his experience they leak badly, so I changed them for what he uses (look like double width jubilee's) and gained 7psi of boost, I actually had to turn my boost controller down because I hadnt mapped for that much boost before!

They do look nice, but IMO will suffer the same problems as Makilor.
IMO the double width Jubilee style ones Christian sold me tighten up 360deg so to speak, not just squeezing at the top and that then translating down the sides and leaving the bottom with little clamping force and an almost raised section of hose where the clamp is squeezing.
Hard to describe but I hope you get what I mean?! lol

Think I paid about £10 for a full set, I'm sure you can get them from many places but I dont know of any as I got them when I was having my power run.
Christian is wank at answering PM's or emails, your better off calling him and even then the phone is either engaged or he doesnt answer!!
