Intercooler Pipe Blowing off

Intercooler Pipe Blowing off
So here recently when I go through the gears very hard (100%) throttle I will blow off the lower intercooler pipe off the intercooler. It blows off from the rubber coupler before the intercooler. I have injen intercooler piping, FP Red, 1250cc injectors, tune, 27lbs of boost, stock 9 BOV. Any ideas??? OH I also have am using the stock rubber piece and the upgraded t clamps.

Get rid of the Injen LICP, I have had the same problem with the one that came on my car. You could also try hair spraying the inside of the coupler/outside of pipe right before you slip it together. That has always worked for me

also i often see people not thoroughly cleaning the IC piping as they clamp it down. dirt and even blow-by can cause the tclamps to slip. clean the contact area with rubbing alchohol, then spray with hairspray. if the IC piping also is beaded, theres no way that thing is popping off under most circumstances.

I agree. I have the Injen LICP right now and mine has blown off a few times, I even have T-bolt clamps. The pipe just does not square up at all to the intercooler. I gave up and ordered a new LICP from ETS when I bought my new intercooler from them. Eventually you will stretch the coupler out if you keep having to reattach it over and over again.

Stupid question but I'm having the same problem guys, sorry to dig up an old thread but I have all oem piping, car is stock, turbo Xs mbc, running 19psi, but mine continuously keeping blowing the pipe off my throttle body. Any tips for the Tb? Or just the alcohol and hairspray?
