HELP, things are blowing UP IN MY EVO
HELP, things are blowing UP IN MY EVO
ok, so im driving today on the way to (well you dont care) and im at 3 thousand rpms in 5th gear and i push the gas a little and you hear the turbo spool then a big BOOM and loss in all power and pressure of the turbo. i stop and look the huge tube going to the throttle body (wat ever you call it the thing behind the motor towards the fire wall where a huge tube goes in it) that tube pops off, so i clamp it down and connect it again, turn on the car and it drives fine, as soon as the turbo kicks in BOOM again and the tube comes flying off and loss of all power again. Wat would do this or cause this, i have NO IDEA please help me, i cant drive the car at all now.
did that, bought new clamps and tied them down then pulled on them with all my wieght and they would not come off, after driving, as soon as turbo kicks in, BOOM and it comes off again. idk what is going one, 2 mintues before it happen the car was fine and everything was working ok

tighten the t-bolt clamps down nice and tight. you shouldnt have a problem after that. if you do, then i would think you are over boosting or something. if you dont already have t-bolt clamps, i would definetly get some. just my .02
i want to try the t-bolt clamps but right now everythign is closed around my house, im just wondering because why would it all of a sudden do this, because this morning i was driving the car and accelerating and turbo was kicking in and nothing happen, why all of a sudden the problem with this?
lol i had the same prob with my licp off the front mount....as soon as i hit 3rd gear....boom it would blow off....I got some semi- tbolts to hold it on...because i was blowing off tbolts right and left
does it matter if the car has only one modification (catback) and nothing else, and never ever before did this? im going to try your guys idea tomorrow when the stores open, what concerns me is that why all of a sudden a problem like this would occur.

Spray some hair spray on the rubber/silicon couplers then put them on the pipes again. Tbolt everything down nice and tight and that should help.
I had an issue with an injen upper IC pipe poping off in the middle because I had it stretched to fit on an upgraded FMIC so the pipes didnt clamp together well. Hair spray got them to old up to 22PSI on my old 50trim setup and around 400WHP
