Throttle Body Clamp???

Can anyone tell me what size the clamp on the throttle body is? I cant believe that every other clamp on the charge pipes is a T-Bolt but the throttle body clamp is a worm gear. I think I may have stripped my worm gear clamp and I am looking to replace it with a T-Bolt. What are all of the clamps sizes(turbo outlet, hot side, cold side, and throttle body)??? I searched but couldnt find anything related to this issue. Thank you.

Hes looking for the size of the clamp itself, not the size of the bolt. I second this question, Ive replaced all my worm clamps with tbolts except the one on the throttle body. I reused the stock tbolt on the turbo side.

a 2.5 inch clamp should work just fine

I would think its smaller than that? The tbolt clamps on the piping is 2.75", and it seems (just looking) that the throttle body is smaller than 2.5".

Throttle Body Clamp is a 3" clamp. Just reviewed the drawing and measured an actual piece I have at my desk.

Did your car have worm clamps on the charge pipes? My car has t-bolts everywhere except the throttle body. I purchased my car new so it is highly unlikely that someone changed them out. Thanks!

That is awesome, thank you! Do you happen to know the other(turbo, hot side, and cold side) clamp sizes as well? No big deal, I am just curious. Thanks again.

it is 3". i had to buy a T-bolt since i kept blowing the piping apart... but i think a 2.75" will fit a lil better. my 3" tightens down almost all the way.
