| I figured I'd make this post due to all the questions that I receive about my T bolt clamps, where to get them, what sizes, etc. Without further ADO, here you go. Feel free to post your comments. I think this would be fitting in the VFAQ section. Prices are from [ www.partssystems.com ] as of 10/23/2005. They may change from time to time, but have generally remained the same over the years. All prices are in U.S. Dollars. **Upper Intercooler Piping with Scott/ebay/HKS hard pipe kit (90-96TT only):
- TB213 Need 10 $2.36ea $23.60 total
- TB263 Need 06 $2.40ea $14.40 total
($38.00 total) **Upper Intercooler Piping with OEM or Stillen Hoses (90-96 TT only):
- TB213 Need 06 $2.36ea $14.16 total
- TB263 Need 02 $2.40ea $04.80 total
($18.96 total) ** Lower SMIC (Side Mount Intercoolers) piping using stock rubber couplers (connect to the SMIC's)(90-96 TT only):
- TB 213 Need 08 $2.36ea $18.88 total
($18.88 total)
** Radiator Hoses (upper and lower) with lower aluminum hard pipe (90-96 TT and N/A all variations):
- TB 163 Need 04 $2.28 $09.12
- TB 175 Need 02 $2.27 $04.54
($13.66 total)
**Radiator Hoses (all) but with lower OEM Rubber hose (90-96 TT and N/A all variations):
- TB 163 Need 02 $2.28 $04.56
- TB 175 Need 02 $2.27 $04.54
($9.10 total) So there you have it folks. Assuming you have the hard pipe kit and lower radiator hard pipe, for about $70 bucks you can have a leak free setup. Note: N/A guys, the radiator clamps are the same, but I'm unsure of the intake hoses for them. Note: You can substitute TB225 for TB213, but the TB225's will tend to tighten down all the way, so if you ever need to tighten them again, you would not be able to. The 213's do require a bit of convincing to get all the way on some times, but if you back the locknut almost all the way out, that will give you enough room to work them on. A very simple install.
Feel free to add or post comments, etc.
Parts systems isn't the fastest shipper, but you do get them and shipping is only $6.50 for ground. It takes 7 business days for them to get from Oregon to Texas even if I ship it 3rd day instead of ground. So don't plan on getting them in a hurry.
