Default DV Install

Bought an APR R1 DV and I'm looking to install it before X-mas. I just want to know what size clamps I need. I've searched and nothing of any help came up. Thanks guys.

I just bought steel hose clamps from Home Depot. You can eye ball it. You want two clamps that can close to about a 1 1/4" and one small one that can close to about 1/4"-1/2" for the vac line. Really easy, just go to the local hardware store and check out all the house clamps they have.

All in all you need:

(1 House clamp) 1/4 in.-5/8 in.
(2 House clamps) 13/16 in.-1 3/4 in.

Good call on the dv by the way, I went BOV route and am trying to make it work... as we speak.

or you can just take the R1 to the hardware store and add about a 1/8" to that for the hose and get it that way!

Haha, I'd heard so many horror stories about the BOV that I just decided to go DV.
