if only there was a way to tune your charge pipes to blow off at a certain psi. that way i could run them at 10 psi, but have them blow off at 12psi :1

You can also take some hairspray (aqua net) and spray it on the end of the piping where the coupler would be and that will make it hold a lot better as well.

there is a boost cut cut feature in crome... to cut the fuel completely if you boost above a certain set psi.. i double up the clamps and works good for 15 psi..

but the hammer bead piping trick is sick i like im gonna try it
