I read a thread where a guy used either ABS or PVC and it started to deform due to heat.

yes the plastic will deform due to the heat but you can cure that by putting 2 screws in your couplers after the clamps. cant blow off a coupler that is screwd to the pipe

brilliant lmao. here i am with pliers trying to feather the pipes out or grinders trying to make a groove, to welder welding a bead. and i coulda just put a screw in it? doh

its super ghetto but its the only way we could get the charge pipe on my buddies DSM to stay together above 30psi of boost

my ---- was blowing left and right at 12 pounds heh. id get one good pull in second and at like 6k POP. i think it was a mix of home depot couplers, cut up aluminum pipe and the movement from the engine (was always the hot side).

Took a grinder the ground like a reverese bead into it and it worked decent.

but now we know screw that ---- together

rExin_you_out 06-22-2009 09:14 PM

did you coat the screw in rtv or anything?

no the amount of boost leak it will have is very very minimal.
