intercooler hose popped out three times

the first time scared the HELLLL outta me. All three times happened under like 10 psi but after the second time i replaced the clamp and its still doing it. its the one at the throttle body.... is that elbow just worn? or is air just getting trapped there which i would find impossible.....?

thanks
jeff

T-bolt.... or if you are in the cheap you could double or tripple up the worm clamps. Sometime they work even better than t-bolt! :}

Hairspray on the inside of the coupler. It's like glue.

One thing I've noticed about the throttle body coupler is you have to make sure to have it on there all the way and have the clamp almost right against the tab's on the TB in order to keep it from blowing off.

Spray a good amount of hairspray into the coupler and reattach. Let it dry for a while before driving the car, helped alot for me.

You heard it in the other posts! tbolts

the best part about running speed density is that I can keep driving normal when hoses or pipes pop off

Like everyone else said - t-bolts, hairspray, or another trick - bigger forearms.

T-bolt clamps, if you need them... let me know! We have a ton in stock.

Thanks,

Michael
