At the throttle body. stock boost.

I blow off the standard wormdrive hoseclamp thing within one pull.

I put a t-bolt clamp on, and it stayed on for about a week. today it blew off too.

Something else must be wrong. this is freaking impossible. I've used hairspray, etc. this time I sanded with coarse emory cloth, gouged some scratches with a screwdriver, cleaned the daylights out of everything with brake cleaner and clamped the daylights out of the hose clamp.

This is killing me.

Are you using the stock coupler?

yes, stock coupler. (if buy coupler you mean the black hose leading to the TB)

is there an aftermarket hose, or do I have to buy the whole intercooler pipe set...???

Use break cleaner to clean off the throttle body inlet tube, and if you cant, the inside of the coupler. Then use hair spray to help hold it on. No 'style' hair spray, use a 'max-hold'. Let dry for a half hour or so & tighten that sucker down (t-bolt) until it wont give any more. This will fix your problem.

Make sure the clamp is on past the lip on the TB. If the coupler is on over that, it will slip off. After you get it on there yank on it hard, it should not come off!

also after you heat cycle the car/boost the car, re-tighten everything

Mine did the same thing. It scared the hell outta me the first time.
I put on a t0bolt and tightned it really good and it hasn't come off since.
Are you using a socket to tighten it or a screwdriver?

Sometime using 2 worm clamps sideby side works better than a t-bolt clamp.

we had a similar problem at the last time attack. ended up being the engine moving around too much. Stole an engine dampener from robi, hair sprayed, doubled the clamps & it held.

i just got some real nice forge motor mounts.. that will help for next time out.

- edit. lower ic pipe though, not up by TB.
