Its the one that connects to the throttle body.

 

how tight do you guys tighten the t clamps?

I've got the nisei engineering pipe kit and am worried that I might distort the pipes?

you can try what I did to mine..
Good luck!

 

Driving down the interstate and BOOM!! The same happened to me. But thanks to EVOM I've read a bunch of posts about this so that was the first thing I checked. Sure enough the lower i/c pipe blew right out of the coupler to the i/c. That was nerve racking though being on the ground trying to fix it and everyone just zooming by.

 

mine likes to blow off from the IC itself... from the UICP side. f'd me over because that one you have to take the bumper off to get back on well.

 

same happened to me twice with my AMS licp...i learned my lesson and put full constant torque clamps all around lol

 

MR after tax and license

 

i've heard of that happening to some of the 9 owners, never happen to me stock but after i changed to the injen kit, same thing happened to me, i was at wot in second gear i believe and i hear a BOOM!!!! it scared the **** outa me, only thing running through my mind is did i blow the motor? or did an axle break for some reason. anyways as i finally got it to the side with the help of my pops after i called him mind everyone its 6:00 am he wasnt too happy to hear that. but when we seen it was just that i was SOO relieved. i if i were you i would definetly upgrade those clamps you dont want that happening to you again. especially somewhere far and you have no tools or light.

 

**** happened to me too on the turnpike at 2000 miles i had to try something i used a show lace and nothing lol luckily my frined was following us went to my house and picked up a t-bolt clamp but it still blows off sometimes with that

 

im looking into a 1 piece kit now that ive had problems with the AMS

im not bad mouthing AMS at all mind you, but i had a boost leak today on the LICP again
I figure less pieces, less chance for leaks lol

 

try a ziptie and do it tight as you can with a longer ziptie and then tighten that clamp itll hold ive done that and no problems since

 

mine happend 3 days off the lot. this was before forums, and the sevice manual god book. but that was not the last time it blew off either. the last time was at a track in the middle of a race, well my trap speed was 34 mph, lol. so monday i have new ic piping and the fmic going in hehe.

 

I had this problem also. In my mr2 I can't get past 19psi without them blowing off. I need to just buy a bulk of really good clamps.

 

I was having the same problem even with the T-bolt clamp......The hose was shot!

I put the Samco Ic pipes on with a T-bolt and now all is well!

 

Breeze constant torque hose clamps or their t-bolt clamps along with a good spray of this over the i/c pipe ends before the coupling goes over it. Work fast...
