Intercooler piping blowing off

[GCATX]

Yes

Linex is the answer. No matter the question.

Good to know. I'm having Line-X tint the windows as it will be a longer lasting application. Even the windshield!

I’m pretty sure @Oldfart would disagree

I STRONGLY disagree!! When I had severe **** leakage I tried Line-X and it did NOT help at all!!!! I still had blow outs from my pipe.

This exact thing happened to me after installed the AFE IC. What I did was install a C clamp over the top of the provided clamp and it's been golden for the last 15k miles.

Anytime, Maybe spray the IC and the wipe the inside of the hose with carb or brake cleaner to make sure it`s not an oil issue

this, make sure it's all clean then tighten the **** out of it. Once you've made the connection any oil in the system shouldn't be able to get up into the clamped area to cause issues. With my procharged car I would snug the clamps then come by the next day and snug again, sometimes the material of the connector collapses a little bit and you can get a little more turn on it.

Make sure the boot is fully seated, that the clamp is is behind the lip all the way around and use a socket/bit driver to snug it

Understood.

You can see the clamp that holds the hose to the IC adapter. Then you see the clamp on the actual aluminum adapter...underneath that clamp is the stock clamp that came with the IC that popped off. In this ocnfiuration it's impossible for the stock clamp to pop off as it's completely covered by the c-clamp that I placed on top of it.

Ahhh right, there she goes. I see it now. Good idea.

Thanks for that. I will do this once I move, along with hairspray and clean the boots from oils. Probably need to invest in a oil catch can also.
