Loose hose clamp leads to intercooler piping falling off
about 5 months ago when i had my new clutch put in. they had to take off a lot of stuff including the intercooler piping, well the other day i was driving at full (stock) boost and all of a sudden, i head a "pop" or something im all like, wow wtf was that
and my car starts to bog and idle all funny. so about 5 secondds after, i pull to the side of the road. and im all like AHHH. so i pop the hood and i see the Black mesh stuff, fallen off the piping. so i go get the clamp (that was lying in the middle of the road) and tighten it back on. and while i do that, i tighten all of them. just a FYI for all you. TIGHTEN YOUR CLAMPS. ha
i almost pooed my pants
but im good now.

I don't think it's the shop's fault that installed your clutch, eventhought it may be. There have been multiple cases where other owners get the same result from driving normally. Everytime I take my car out, I wait for it to happen to me
