I made 4 runs today, and each time my intercooler piping would pop off. We even put VHT on the ends and they still popped off. THey are stainless steel and pretty slick and heavy. We cranked the clamps pretty hard, and they still popped off. Would Aluminum with a bead welded be a better choice?

Have you checked the DP across the IC? It is possible that the pressure is backing up causing it to blow off.

Boost straps and be done with it!

Sand paper and hairspray.

Gotta rough up the pipe to give the coupler something to grip.

x2, aqua net and sand paper works like a champ

you may have a mis allignment issue. maybe under power stuff is flexing ect. i ran mine with no beads just a straight cut at 40lbs boost no issues at all. only one time did i blow it off and that was a methanol backfire that mangled the tubing like a pretzel.

Just go buy son Indian glue at az or adv. Its in a lil brown bottle. It has a swab on the end and wipe in on and that's it. It works great.
