TBolt Clamps - How Tight ?
 
I was wondering how tight you can tighten TBolt clamps before they pop ?
Has anyone gone that far ?

These things are hard to break, they'll crush your pipes before the treads off the bolt can be destroyed

Yeah I've 3" stainless tubing as well and I've had enough of leaks !
I took off all the standard Greddy pipes & couplers and made up my own from parts shipped by WOT.
I've clocked the turbo and can now put back on the engine strut which is something I've wanted to do since the Greddy when in.
It'll last until I am going to stick in an IC etc.
I'm installing a new Greddy kit in a Buddys car on Tuesday and he's taken the same route as me. He doesn't want to bother with the Greddy tubing at all. He got the same parts from WOT and they were shipped together.
