<VV> Turbo hose clamps

Does anyone have a good suggestion for replacement hose clamp for the turbo
outlet-intake cross-over pipe hose?

The original Chevrolet clamps really don't provide a good seal; at decent
boost levels, there's a fair amount of leakage.  If you try to tighten them
too much, the bolt flanges bend.  And that leaking air/gas mix goes
directly into the heater!

I've used standard SS radiator hose clamps, but just about all the ones in
the local parts stores are pretty junky.  I've looked at -- on line -- the
Summit Racing "T-Bolt" hose clamps and they look pretty good.

Does anyone have any experience with them or have another suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
