I'm an original owner of a IX SE. The car you have was definitely put back to semi-stock. As for the clamps on the couplers, the car originally came with the simple hose clamps very similar to the ones you have. Many of us replaced them with T-bolt clamps, like the other clamp you pointed to in the video. Good luck.
+Felix F That's what I figured. The more I tear into it the more I can tell that it was a rushed job. I have another video coming out today that had the turbo removal. Thanks for watching!
+mike escalante Thanks for watching! Yeah the timing belt kits can get expensive if you change the tensioner and the water-pump with OEM stuff. I probably will replace my belt at a minimum. I'll check and see how worn out the water pump is. If it's ok, I'll probably just do the belt and tensioner.
