Question Is this a good clamp for my BOV? ? ?

Hi guys, I'm trying to solve my problem with the stock BOV clamp that doesn't hold the stock boost pressure. I found this type of BOV clamp:



Can this (spring type) clamp hold the stock pressure better than the stock?

Any help I would appreciate

I cant see the pic but any ring clamp or t-bolt clamp will work fine.

I checked all opitions of t-bolt clamps and no one has 12mm band width.

This clamp of the photo is the same we have on the radiator hose. I think that this clamp holds pressure better than OE type, because this clamp of the photo was developed to hold water pressure that is higher than air pressure.

If I'm wrong please correct me because I'm buying this clamp tomorrow!
