Searched around and didn't see this info anywhere.
The OD's of the boost tubes as I measured them tonight are:
From turbo: 2.5"
To intercooler: 2.5"
From intercooler: 3"
To intake manifold: 3"
For confirmation, I would measure your own boost tube OD's before ordering as there may be slight differences
You will need to buy:
2x 2.75" T-Bolt Clamps ($2.60 ea)

2x 2.25" T-Bolt Clamps ($2.60 ea)

INSTALL:
Pretty straight forward...
1) Open hood
2) Remove intercooler shroud
3) Disconnect vacuum line to BPV, then disconnect BPV from intercooler
4) Remove the 3 nuts holding the intercooler in place
5) Loosen the worm-style clamps going to and from the intercooler
6) Carefully pull upwards on intercooler...remove, and set aside
7) Loosen the worm-style clamps coming from the turbo and to the intake manifold and remove the boost tubes
8) Replace worm-style clamps with T-bolt clamps
Comparison between worm-style and T-bolt clamps
9) Put back together in reverse order
