Turbo Inlet Clamp

Does anyone know what special tool is needed to take the wire/spring clamp off the tube that hooks to the turbo inlet?
Looks like its hooked in to a slot or groove? Seems a screwdriver might work but it's really tight down there.
I don't mind buying the correct tool for this.
~Tips? Trick?
Thanks!

Yea, this video was extremely helpful yesterday when I did the exhaust! I watched it several times to make sure what I was getting in to.

But what I'm talking about now are these CF pipes that feed the turbo air on the front side.

Are they coming out with the air intakes for these? If not, I don’t recommend.

Yes, these are the pieces that pick up where Eventuri stops. It makes the connection the rest of the way in CF up to the turbo inlet. To me its more looks than function, but I guess they are slightly larger diameter than OEM.

I stand corrected:
They do not match up with Eventuri Intakes.
They do match up with OEM intakes.
- - - Sooooo, these ones are going up for sale, I ordered them a long time ago, and somewhere in between I changed the factory intakes for Eventuri ones. Damn!

Ugh, should've asked me.
I know that it doesn't match up to Eventuri. Could've saved you time and money.
