My charge tube didn't like 35 lbs of boost...

Plastic?

Plastic?

That's what I thought at first but looks to be painted or powder coated aluminum.

aluminum painted

well you know the weld is good

is that due to flex or boost? I would think it was a flex issue.

Looks like the charge tube held up fine till the hose clamp coupler failed and let it blow around. Time to V-Band the other end.

That's my take as well but I wouldn't vband the other end. Maybe a wiggins but you will hate trying to get the pipe on and off if you vband both sides.

Did u pedal the car any?

 

[outlawss]

Yep.

 

[outlawss]

SO....MAKING BOOST...WHAT WAS SHE DOING BEFORE THE PEDAL?

 

[Jn3fj]

No way thats from boost itself pipe moved. You are leaking through the pin holes in the weld. Take a punch and hit the weld to cover the pin holes. Lol

 

[outlawss]

As soon as it gets are 35 lbs it blows the charge tube off the hat. Only got 120 feet out. Still went 6.80 letting out 120 ft out... Lol

 

[Jn3fj]

Brace the pipe to hat or use v bands. Its such a short pipe wont have any problems

 

[cougarnut281]

Is the clamp bottomed out?
