Unhappy Intercooler Piping!!!!AHHH

Ok if my intercoolerpiping blows off one more time im gonna need to goto the hospital. every time it happens i nearly have a heart attack even when i know what it is. All i have are a hallman mbc and a base dynoflash my boost is set at 21 psi and every time the pipe blows off i tighten it even more than last time but it happens agin and again. Im scared to hit the gas too hard fearing it will blow off and ill have to get another clamp while stuck on the side of the road. Any helpp??

i fixed it by getting a longer silicon hose and 2 clamps to hold each side

In a post earlier today someone mentioned Super glue to solve boost lines coming loose, maybe there is your answer.

Are these stock pipes ? I assume so as seeing you mentioned that you only had a Dynoflash and an MBC.

T-bolt clamps are your friend. They start to get expensive though.

Spray some hairspray on the IC pipe then clamp the hose down. It always works for me.

+1. Don't use superglue as that will make future removal very difficult.

I say use the T-bolt clamp combo with some hairspray. You can get them pretty cheap at any autozone/advance. They keep them in the ricer section close to the shift knobs. And use a socket to tighten as oposed to a screw driver, at least...thats what I do, but its probably not the right thing to do hah.
