The intake arrived today - looks great! As I bought it second hand I think I made need buy another hose clip to attach it to the turbo... is that correct or can I reuse one that's already on the car?

IMO it would be easier to use a jubilee clip.

Sorry, that's what I meant! What size would I need to attach the silicon pipe to the turbo inlet pipe?
