T-bolt clamps are definetly worth the investment. Just don't over tourque them.

Jorge, how so? I'm curious as to what happened. I had a coupler blow off the MAF housing this weekend. No apparent damage.....i hope.

The ones on the left do not appear to have the "ny-lock" nuts (i.e. they may loosen). Correct or are the nuts just different?

I've had that coupler blow off a few times too. That one didn't cause damage cause it was obvious to me that it blew off (loss of power with a loud pop) and I immediately fixed it. Apparently my RHS turbo had a loose coupler and I was taking in unfiltered air. When they tore my block down to install new studs (L19's) there was debris inside the motor all over the place which damaged the block, cams, and pistons. I have some pictures at home that I can post later if you would like to see. Also that is not the first time the RHS turbo coupler has come loose. This time I am changing out all the Greddy clamps with T-Bolt clamps.

Thanks for the info; I really appreciate it. I think t-bolt clamps are just good insurance. I've got a set on the way.

Yeah a few of these don't have the nylock nuts, but I don't foresee the nuts backing out at all.
