Anyone use some type of coupler glue on chargepipes ?
 
I was reading about a S/C mustang that used, " gorilla grip " on the chargepipes to help them stay on and sealed.

Just wondering if anyone has heard of this or anything else like it.

I have heard of using cheap ass hair spray to help keep the pipes from blowing off.

What psi are you running?

I would never use gorilla glue, but I would try hairspray if I ever had problems. But I don't.

Bead the end of your pipes.

I don't have any issues with the pipes coming off, but every bit helps when your making 400whp with a mistu TD04 turbo. Even small boost leaks drain power, essp. when your maxing the turbo out.

I just read it in a mustang magizine, and had me thinking. I might use a bit of "aquanet" hair spray next time I have the turbo off. My buddy has a SVO mustang and says it works well.

I used to use aquanet hairspray in my potato gun for a fuel/propellant. Read the first 3 or 4 ingredients, you'll laugh and know why it makes a good fuel.

I used 3m spray adhesive. It held good up to 20psi with worm clamps and no beads. Above 20 they started to slip off.

Yea, I think the heat gets to the 3m stuff. I spike 23psi, hold about 17-18psi.
I spend hours boost leak testing...

Quit ordering shitty $80 eBay pipe kits that aren't bead rolled.
