Default Throttle Bottle boot questions

What is the "clamping range" i would need? i am buying a Samco Throttle body boot from ECS Tuning (barring any other suggestions from you guys as far as cost) and understand using the original clamps may not be wise?

So what clamp would i get?

...and is using plastic ties for the diverter valves fine?

Thanks!!!

Default it depends...

I have been using Breeze clamps for years...not only on the Samco TBB, but all my hoses.

If you are a big dog and are kicking out really serious boost you might want CT clamps on the charged hoses. These have a spring built in them to provide constent tension on the clamp as everything heats up. But i think they are overkill.

Plastic Zip ties are ok on the vacuum nipple atop the BPV...but certainly not on the feed and exhaust hoses..Again I use the Breeze clamps.

You can buy a complete set of Breeze clamps from VAST Performance. Every clamp you need for the entire intact track...from the acordian pipe to the turbo inlets...I think they are about $50 complete.
