Here is a track shot of me versues Turbo Viper, I got him out of the hole but my I/C pipe blew about the top of 1st gear.

 I would have loved to see the look on his face when we left though

Keep having problem with the I/C pipe blowing off so we just pulled the fender off for easy access.

are you going to try and put a lip on your  ic pipes, then clamp the rubber connectors down behind it so they cant pull apart? i plan on running some boost in 2 of my cars, more in one... but anyway i'd be interested to find out what you do to fix it so i can copy it later on :p

Check out the post with the video @ the track the 2nd page has pictures.

 Have welded lips on part of the pipes now it only blowes it off @ the MAF and it has a Aluim  that is polished so I'll have to tig a ring on it now.

what kind of clamps are you using? when i was using regular worm clamps on my buick- once i would hit 18-20 psi the IC hose going into my front mount would blow off. i switch to t bolt style clamps then it would go 30psi no problem

heres the clamps i use

a litle duct tape always proves to be a great fix even if you have to use the whole roll and it would look wonderful with the black! what do you guys think?

I don't think duct tape would stand a chance, not even a whole roll. :)

Part of your problem might be your blow off valve. Not sure which type you have. It may be to small so when the throttle slams shut the valve is not flowing enough cfm so there is to much pressure in the pipe. (had that problem with my procharger)

Ohh... just realized you have an auto so maybe it's not the valve!
