Noticed that your using regular clamps for some parts of the intercooler instead of the t-bolt clamps.

Is there a big difference? I am getting ready to setup my turbo, and if i can get by using the regular clamps until the t-bolts arrive, then i will do that.

yeah man you can get by with them just be prepared to have to reattach a pipe every once and a while ....i got some more t-bolt clamps on the way...and yes a huge difference both price and clamping force...the regular worm gear clamps that are common on radiator hoses can only tighten so much and can actually cut into couplers and cause a rip...t-bolts are somthing like 3 times as much clamping force,wont pinch or cut into your couplers...they are worth the money if you can afford it....pretty cheap on ebay

Do you know a good ebay seller? Im trying to find out what I should be paying.

What is the going rate for 2.5 and 3.0 inch t-bolt clamps, so i dont get ripped off. =)
