Blown UICP!!!.....

[TSI15PSI]

I have a home made upper intercooler pipe and tonight I finally was able to get the car to run a consistant 15psi pull....problem, it keeps popping off!! I think I just cant get that clamp tight enough!! Is there a good clamp out there that I can get from say Checker or Autozone that will hold it real tight? Thanks alot everyone. Appreciate it.

well for starters get some silicone couplers. You can get them from most performance shops. If you have no shops around check semi repair shops like Peterbuilt, Case, and what not, Semi trucks use the silicone hose for radiator hose. Most of the time this stuff is hard to pull off the pipe itself w/ no clamp on it. Then order some t-bolt clamps also. W/ those 2 you sholdn't have any more pipes blowing off.

You should try using some RTV on the inside of the hose that connects to the UIP. This should work.

If you can what ever connecting peaces you are using bend up the end of the pipe just a slitght bit then when you clamp down the hose if it starts to blow off it only makes itself tighter.

put a little weld on the outer edge of the pipe
