When I'm driving under boost normally in 2nd or 3rd gear my damn rubber hose going from the turbo in to the stock intercooler pops off. Standard FC TII. Anyone have any suggensions for a better clamp or a different hose. This is starting to **** me off!!! And it scares the **** out of me when it happens.



Thanks,



Matt

Get a silicon coupling that will fit over both the rubber hose and the steel pipe leading into the IC...then get some tighteners and fasten it on, this sometimes works, but you may just wanna go FMIC :yum:
