BOV/Turbo

Ok guys i need some help or advice.... My 05 Evo 8 will blow the rubber intake Pipe off of the throttle Body when im at high boost like 23lbs... it will not do it at low boost at all... I tighten the Hose Clamp to the max yet it will still blow it off.... the car is all stock with the recirculation bov... anyone else have this problem?? Could it be the Tube is old and needs to be replaced?? any help would be great.... By the way i blew away a formula 1 TA last nightat 145 lol... any help would be awsome.. thanks

the factory IC couplers are weak sauce! they expand like none other....if you have just a worm clamp on the couplers you could try a t-bolt clamp those work really well but your couplers are still going to expand....i plan on getting a samco intercooler coupler kit

A cheaper alternative to the Samco couplers would be the Vibrant ones. They work great for me and they're a fraction in cost.
