are they all the same size i need for the boost hoses (and how many do i need lol - they are scattered over the back garden covered in degreaser presently so have lost count) ...... think it's less than 10?

The safest way is to measure the pipes and add 2 or 3 mil on for the thickness of the silicone, i say this because if they are too big and you have to clamp them down too much they loose their circular shape and you wont get a good seal, it is only an 8mm tolerance which aint alot when you concider the size of circumference.

I use them myself and never had one blow off.

on my saab it has standard jubilee clips and the turbo hose blew off the other day whilst engaging it some spirited driving lol, so got to buy some more myself
