Tightening licp..

I looked in the Evo 9 bumper hole where you can see the intercooler pipes connect and I noticed that it may need to be tightened because there a little gap between the pipe and fmic.. It's connect but it looks like its not tightened to good.

So my questions is, how do I get the it? Do I have to take of my bumper?

Boost leak test the car is it leaking? Have u been driving it? If it was loose the min you give it any real boost it would have popped the pipe off.

I orientate T Bolt Clamps so that they are accessible from under the car. With the under tray off assuming you have one, can u get a wrench on the clamps?

If not there's your answer.

I took my bumper off to fix that but I was taking it off anyway to repainted the mesh. You can probably jack the car up and see if you have room. As long as you have room to loosen the clamps, adjust the coupling and tighten them back you're good.

Might as well do a boost leak test to make sure everything else is good to go too

I did a pretty good 2nd gear pull and hit like full boost while I was driving and then when I arrived I just decided to check it and it looks like its loose.. Do maybe it's not loose.. I'll do another pull later and see

if it was visibly loose then you wouldn't be able to drive it without popping off...quit asking for e-help and just actually check it
