CHARGE PIPES?
 
How many of you blow off your charge pipes last night I blew mine off twice....the two closest to the turbo...only in first when suddenly flooring it she blew the damn thing right off and i ran over it! WTF! I am using homedepot plumbing connectors the black rubber ones to connect my piping...and using the swivel screw clamps to hold them on...why the hell am I blowing charge pipes? What do you guys use as couplers?

What boost were you running when it blew?

I'd recommend silicone couplers with T-bolt clamps. That should solve your problem.

I was running 8 psi on my car w/ home depot couplers. I never had problems with the couplers blowing off. I welded about four big spot welds around the ends of each pipe so the hose clamps had a good, solid thing to bite against.

As previously stated, get some silicone coupers and tbolt clamps and you should be all set to go.
