It's true, they are crud.

Jubilee all the way. Standard Jubilee's are holding over 2.0 bar of boost on Gary's 700bhp Evo.

They dont fully seal around the pipe there clamping, a good quality Jubilee clip will give a better seal than a mikalor one and wont leak boost tried, tested and discussed a few times on here and a few other forums, they look pretty so people buy them lol
