Default Samco Hoses & appropriate clamps-Indentifying HP or LP ->

I am going to install the Samco hoses this weekend...

I will be purchasing the <a href="http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/oetiker.php">Oetiker - CT clamps</a> for those hoses that are HP, and regular stainless clamps for those that are LP.

I can use help identifying which hoses are which... Obviously, the TBB, F-Pipe and BPV hoses are easy... I won't need the TBB or F-Pipe.

What I need to know, before ripping everything out, is which hoses are HP and which are LP so I can purchase the correct clamps...

I've calipered all the hose ends and have a list of all the inlet/outlet sizes and have sources for the clamps...Can someone who can identify the hoses by eye, tell me Hose # and HP or LP?

I think #8 are the only pre-turbo (low pressure) hoses.

I believe 5 &amp; 6 are from the turbo outlets to the hardpipes leading to the IC hoses.

Probably not. Some of those hoses are pretty tough to get to... might not have room for CT clamps.
