There are no clamps in what Keith lists. There is an installation kit for $60, or so I was told:
36-60000 1 Silicone hose Black; BOV silicone hose coupler
36-70000 2 Hose clamp BOV clamp
36-70010 1 Hose clamp For compressor inlet
36-70020 1 Hose clamp For air filter mount pipe
36-70105 2 Hose clamp, Winzer BOV vent clamp
36-70303 1 Hose clamp, T-bolt For compressor outlet
36-70305 2 Hose clamp, T-bolt For IC and throttle body pipes
36-70308 3 Hose clamp, T-bolt For IC and throttle body pipes
36-60000 1 Silicone hose Black; BOV silicone hose coupler
36-70000 2 Hose clamp BOV clamp
36-70010 1 Hose clamp For compressor inlet
36-70020 1 Hose clamp For air filter mount pipe
36-70105 2 Hose clamp, Winzer BOV vent clamp

I agree ^ That's the best thing about this forum, no fear of saying anything. It brings out those in the know to reveal the truth... usually. 
For the most part this process has produced a lot of informative content here among just a smallish group. Look at all the info that followed your "angry people" comment.

jayc72, the full IC upgrade kit does include the required clamps. If you buy parts separately as you did, we can supply clamps if you want them - Winzer, constant torque or T-bolt.
I don't have a problem with truthful posts, although I see a lot of unsubstantiated rumormonging
When I see posts that say "**** Keith, and **** his fanboy", I don't exactly feel like it's a high level of discourse.

Well good news! It all fits together!
I've got a BEGI manifold and Downpipe
CXRacing Chinacooler, about 28 1/2" end to end
FM I/C pipes
Used GT2554R
I had to reclock the turbo, and weld a new wastegate bracket. Made my own mounting brackets for the I/C. Needed to bend some PS hardlines and extend a rubber line. Had to cut about 4 inches off the coldside I/C pipe and 2 inches off the hotside. Nothing too major.
All and all not too bad. Obviously not as easy as buying a kit and installing. Still pretty good considering its a total FrankenTurbo.
If anyone wants more details on what I used let me know.
Hopefully I'll have it running by the weekend.

More profanity. Check. I usually swear in French, can I use that?
Good stuff, Jay! The old 1.8 BEGi manifolds use the same turbo location that we use now, and we have a spacer that will make an old 1.6 BEGi work with our new stuff. For anyone else considering this, you'll have to ask Corky about the new ones, I know he's moved the turbo on at least some of his manifolds.
We do have wastegate brackets available for reclocked turbos, although they're specific to a particular wastegate can.

In B.C we had to take 3 years of french in highschool.You had to take it,unless you did not plan to go to college.I think they might have changed it to Cantonese now being the mandatory language in B.C,cause french sure is not.

I'm happy with my the route I've taken, even though it would have been cheaper to us an ebay piping kit. Although not a lot cheaper and in the end I think I've get a better solution.

I used the same type of mount that FM uses. You'd be better off to fine one that is slightly narrower. My car has PS but no A/C, and the I/C is very close to the PS lines that make up the cooler loop.
