I'm confused, you say uicp to turbo outlet? Wouldn't that be the lower ic pipe? Or is the X different? On the clamp though what are you using to try to get it off? I always try to use a socket and it it just spins like that stick a screwdriver (flat head) under the bolt on the clamp and try to unscrew it again. By doing this your actually makeing it tighter so it should grab some.

No I realized that. I just wanted to make sure I understood. Give what I said a try it should give it enough to bite on and back the clamp off. If not then man your in a world of **** sorry brotha.

Glad I can help. I was worried you wouldn't understand what I was saying about putting the screwdriver under the nut and giving it something to grab on
