I have just bought some more vacuum hose to replace all the dodgy worn bits that are around my N75 Valve but am wondering what i can use to clamp it down? I know it may be ok not using anything but i cant risk losing boost again with all the issues i have had!

I doubt cable ties will work as it gets so hot there, they will melt so is there anything else i can use?

Quick, create some random threads to shove the other one to the bottom of the list, lol. No-one will ever know ;)

surley hose clips or jubile clips would be better!

I don't think it makes too much difference TBH. It certainly would on the areas which take more of a hammering, though (top of DV etc).
