basically my intercooler hoses keep yanking off at every hard step on it and im looking for any advice on what to make it stay like any specifc brakets?
 
It would be helpful if you provided more information as to what you are currently using.

  • Are you using an aftermarket intercooler kit?
  • Are the ends of the piping beaded?
  • What are you using for clamps?
  • Are some more prone to failure than others?
Some easy fixes are ensuring you are using quality couplers. Additionally, T-bolt clamps tend to have superior holding power over regular worm-gear style hose clamps. Ideally, you would want to ensure you have piping that is beaded, using quality couplers, and T-bolt clamps.
