Anyone here install the ER chargepipe?
I installed mine couple days back. The instructions said not to over-tighten the t-clamp on the front side (to the IC plastic hose) as it might rupture...i guess i didnt tighten enough. I tighten it good, and pulled on it and it didnt budge.

Car ran fine first session and half of the second session. I was coming to my brake zone, top of 3rd gear, lifted and braked, heard a loud woooosh, loss power and went into limp mode.

I have everything apart now, gonna reinstall the charge pipe tomorrow and tighten it down good, just curious why it could have popped off during a lift, isnt the DV valve suppose to relieve the boost?

thanks
