      Intercooler tubing clamps. Help me locate.

      For the life of me I can't find these clamps I have seen on turbo and intercooler tubing. They are all metal and are not a hose type clamp. They have a cage that I think hooks over a lip on the tubing. I think they have a few small spring loaded fingers you can flip up without tools to remove them. Anyone know what I am talking about?

      Wiggins clamps and they actually don't work as well as advertised. They like to come loose at elevated boost levels...and there $100 an 1"!!!!

      Anybody know of something else? I'm just not a big fan of hose clamps on a short hose.

      If you look at almost every serious Turbo car their running wiggins clamps.... I have used them for a couple of years on almost all engine oil and water line...Last place I worked did the front wheel drive ECOTEC program for GM and never had a problem with a wiggins.... over 50 LBS of boost....

      Well, it looks like I will use these. Almost as well since I have about a dozen of them.

      Thanks everyone.

      i've never seen wiggins fittings used on hight pressure applications. mostly on military aircraft fuel fittings. most trubo buick guys use the t bolt clamps work very well.

      Anyone know where I can find an aluminum 2" version? 30 minutes on the internet and 2.5" is the smallest I can find.
