Here what happens when your new LICP pops off *VID*

Went to the track with good expectations, but power seemed down. Could have easily been the humidity (nearly 100% and about 90 deg) since it rained earlier. The air was real thick and everyone was runnin real slow. Or may have been a boost leak at my newly installed LICP. Maybe once the silicone heated up the first time it expanded thus loosening things up. Who knows I only ran twice...first run not good..13.2 @ 105 with a shi*ty 1.9 60ft. Any here's the vid of my LICP coming off...you can here it and I couldn't make any boost at all. Fixed it the next day and she feels quite a bit stronger. Enjoy...and nevermind my brother...he doesn't know cars but videotaped anyway.

I thought it was either the engine or turbo...but it ran with no signs of a bent rod or anything...just no boost. Kinda wished it was the turbo so I could of just got a bigger one. Got the pipe back on and she's running real strong.

Rumor Has it that the AMS licp are the least likely to blow off.

When I bought my AMS LICP I was worried about that happening to me so McGyvered a tether for mine (before they started making them with retaining brackets on them). It's not pretty but it hasn't popped off yet.

you guys who keep poping off LICPs should upgrade to t-bolt clamps. The regular hose clamps just don't tighten enough to keep a good, solid seal on the couplers. They are a bit pricy though, about $3-$5 each depending on where you buy them from.

Not looking good, not looking good, haha, brother's funny man. I've had the licp pop off on me while road tuning crazy experience, barely got into a parking lot to get it fixed. T-Bolt all up, thats what i'm going to get done myself.
