The twin wire style hoseclamp that holds the final OEM intake hose on to the turbo's compressor housing appears to have a knackered clamp on my 205.

Its a nightmare area to get in to so I couldnt measure the size accurately, what size hose clamp would I need to replace the oem one? I assume there would be no harm in using a traditional threaded band clamp here?

(considered they may have used twinwire as it allows hose expansion slightly but doubt the hose should be allowed to do that anyways and it shouldnt expand that much with temperature anyways)

I've had a measure and its circa 80mm, I don't see any problem in using a traditional clamp and the benefit of this is they have a large range of adjustment in sizes that large. :)
