I had a really slow leak from 2 out of 4 of my turbo coolant hoses, also my factory heat wraps were destroyed inside from the slow leak, and tore at the buttons.

I upgraded to high temp silicone. Instead of the oetiker clamps I used fuel injection hose clamps which worked perfectly. I refused to get the OEM heat wrap, so instead I used some DEI wrap.

Hose: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...UTF8&psc=1
Clamps: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...UTF8&psc=1
Heat Wrap: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...UTF8&psc=1

Appears the above Amazon link for the clamp is incorrect. Should be a 15-17mm clamp rather than a 14-16mm. I ordered everything as described. However, we're having a hard time (actually impossible) to slide the clamp over the hose while connected to the turbo line. Will have to use regular clamps until I get the correct ones.
