HELP ASAP! Broke Clamp that Connects Intake tube to MAF!!!

Hey guys,

Just installed my Vibrant Cone Filter and MAF adaptor and was re-tightening the stock clamp that connects the intake hose coming off the turbo to the maf and broke the clamp where the hose connects to the MAF. Obviously I wanna REPLACE ASAP to prevent boost leaks..would you reccomend a good "T-Clamp" from autozone instead of the usual cheapo C-Clamps and if so is it...3", 3.5", or 4" ? Thanks for your timely help!

im no expert but i don't think the intake tube going to the turbo intake side will leak boost. yes autozone s should have a clamp to fix it. from my understanding the clamps on the intake side can be ordinary hose clamps their isn't any boost pressure their.

you will not get a boost leak there, all you need is a regular worm clamp, you should not be tightening that much..

Yeah don't overtighten as you'll either cut the rubber hose or damage the MAF(it's plastic isn't it?).
