popping pipes
 
Had my first experience of blowing a boost pipe off today.
Pottering down the bypass behind a beemer and there was a big pssssttt noise followed by not a lot of engine power,coasted to a stop and the engine cut out,popped the bonnet to expect the worse and there was my pipe hanging around:) popped it back on and all was fine.

I had problems with a setup i once had. It kept popping a hose off. Worst was flooring it down a motorway slip road and it popping off at high speed and the engine dying and having to pull over on the hard shoulder. Mine never hissed. It just went like a popping balllon lol


I use mikalor clamps rather than jubilee clips on my current setup. There the tits. You may just about be able to see them on my signature pic
