Lower Charge Pipe Keeps Slipping Off

Ihatemy135i · 05-22-2022, 09:04 PM

Lower charge pipe keeps blowing off where it connects to the inter cooler. I’ve spent months trying to figure out this problem. Anytime I go full WOT the lower charge pipe blows off. I can’t find any other thread where this issue happens and I haven’t found a solution. The rubber connects to plastic and slips off, I understand that this is the issue, however I can’t find the part or a solution for it. Please help!

Could be pulling off,,, worn motor mount, or broken.
Or could be from pressure. I don't doubt you're putting too much pressure on the plastic J pipe with that clamp, distorting it. Use a traditional hose clamp and just go as tight as you can twist by hand,,, making sure there's no oil on the tube of coupler.
