that sucked. it was on the freeway too (of course).

luckily it came off at the throttle body where I could put it back on roadside, so I suppose that it the silver lining here...

It is staring to get cold in the mornings, and I am guessing maybe that's why the little extra boost pushed the hose off...

do they usually come off at the TB, or was that just my good fortune?

 

they usually come off there, invest in some tbolt clamps

 

How much was you boostin for the IC hose to pop off?

 

 

yeah, I don't have any aftermarket parts. so no idea how much boost.

I am not putting tbolt clamp at the TB, because if it is going to blow off I want it to do so there, where I can reach it.

with my luck it'd blow off on the IC, and then I'm fooked and have to get a tow or something...

 

Make sure not to torque the clamp too tight.

Another tip that has worked very well for me is to spray a little hair spray on the inner tip of the hoses to help with adhesion. This coupled with t-bolt clamps has held up to track days and hot Texas summers without a single problem.

You're an evo owner now, so don't forget to carry around a big container of zip-ties just in case

 

Oddly enough, I blew mine off after replacing all my clamps with T-bolt ones. Apparently I forgot to wrench down the one on the throttle body, it was only hand tightened with the socket.

Glad I forgot that one and not the turbo side of the LICP!
