so heres the deal, my brothers car just got a new clutch put in andit runs fine just when i boost the UICP blows off and the car is boosting over what its tuned it, so what else can it be? we also already have T-clamp on there an its still blowing off the intake mani, any ideas?


AND YES I ALREADY SEARCHED THE FORUM N TRYED IT ALL!

 

Did you try spraying hairspray on throttle body/pipes before putting the couplers on? Also what kind of UICP is it and what size T-bolt clamps? The clamps might be maxed out or not put on tight enough.

 

Yea I did the hairspray, it's stock UICP and its a 3"-2.5" T-clamp and its not maxed out I still got room to go but its as tight as I can get it right now

 

Silicone couplers, you can find them cheap online (ebay..etc)

 

So basically I need new Intercooler piping all around ?

 

Or you can just buy the couplers for $20-$30.

 

No.
Most likely whoever did the clutch job removed the UICP, and when they put it back on, they tightened up the throttle body first, then tightened the lower part. So basically it's forcing the UICP to sit at a strange angle when tightened, and the pressure/movement is just enough to make it break free.

Remove the UICP completely, line it up and connect all of the pieces without tightening anything, then tighten them down into place one by one

 

in my experience, the stock rubber elbow blows off the t-body pretty easily. as someone said hairspray helps. it might sound odd, but putting a big (really big) ziptie on elbow just beyond the t-body helps by limiting expansion of the hose.
