charge pipe hell
 
My charge pipe of the turbo keeps poping off, iv tryed a couple of differnt kinds of couplers and then tryed super glue but it still poped apart. do any of you guys have a good trick because there is noting gayer than loosing a race cuz the cp poped apart.

Nice C&H avatar.

Have you tried putting a little bead at the end of the pipes, and using t-bolt clamps?

T bolt clamps are the best.

tbolt+bead or beads of welds

it sticks on the couplers good
beware that it does make taking it off a tad bit more hard

T-bolts are the only way to go.

Hirspray and adding the beads are just ways to make the Home Depot couplers work a little better.

Just t-bolt with silicone coupler and you are golden for most applications.
