Clamps too weak for BOOST?
buying couplings for the intercooler and im seeing special TBOLT clamps. rating up to 50psi. Well im only going 8-10 now and 15ish down the road and I was wondering if the piping clamps at Home Depot will do? Ive seen them on peoples cars and have heard +'s and -'s things about them. I was thinking, cuz they are so cheap, id use 2 on each end of one coupling. Whihc means 4 per coupling and not 2. Will these hold for 8-10 mabye 15PSI ?

If you want to spend the extra money, the T-clamps are the way to go. Even with a BOV, I have blown off my intercooler pipes several times. It is one of the scariest things in the world.

AH OK, well i heard the tclamps have weird call outs. such as if the coupling is 2.75"x2" you need a 3" tclamp and a 2.25" tclamp.......know what i mean. I dont think you can buy a 2"tclamp for a 2" coupling. OR AM I WRONG HERE
