FYI, my napa store sell's them. They are supplied from Air max. But you have
to be right on with the range. I think they start at 1/2 inch and I have goten them well in to the 6 inch range. They are all ss. Muzy

Grim, do you know where to find mini tbolt clamps or have any other recommendations for the hoses?

Why dont you (if you haven't already) wrap the turbo manifold and turbo to lessen the heat in the bay? If you have, tell me it helps and that I didn't buy/install it on my 7M for nothing.
I bought my clamps at my local automotive parts place... not tough to find at all. Mind you, I have a store local that carries every AN fitting, too. :)

I've been looking for a turbo blanket that works with an internal wastegate. My manifold is already ceramic coated, but it's a bored out stock unit, so wrapping it is an exercise in frustration.

you speak of the oem ones that go on the radiator hoses? you know, got those two ends together and it opens the clamp so you can move the hose? I hope so, have those on my radiator hoses.

Yep, I actually bought brand new clamps from the dealer when I put my samco radiator hoses on.

I :love: my samco radiator hoses and hope that they will make the full set for our cars...

i wrapped my stock turbo manifold. sure, i wasn't able to cover EVERYTHING but im thinking it'll make a difference. That and the exhaust housing on my 60-1 CT26.
