Weird symptoms Need feedback??

Hey guys Well recently I blew off one of my intercooler couplers and I replaced it done. Well it happened again and I fixed it, well kind of. The car feels like it wants to pull but it isn't getting enough air, when I try to get into boost it takes longer but at these rpms it needs the air but It will eventually get to full boost. The turbo has no shaft play at all and I'm going to check again but no boost leaks either. Any ideas its really making me angry and I'm ordering the coupler from extreme psi this time because the one I'm running right now is from home depot.

(the coupler that blew was the one off the jpipe)

depending on the type of clamps your using and how much boost your running will cause you coupler to blow off the j-pipe, using better quality clamps will help with tightness. also you could have put the coupler on wrong a little bit. causing it to get air but also let some out, i have done that many times. check every coupler and clamps making sure they are stright and tight. just my thoughts.

Home Depot couplers pop at arround 3 psi. No really you probably have a hole in the new coupler or any other Home Depot couplers your running. Been there done that. Replace all of them that you have on the car. Keep a couple for emergency use in case you pop off and lose a good coupler. They will atleast get you home.
