charge pipe problem...

[135iDCT]

the main problem is the connector the silver ring...
after 3 races(map0 or 2 no high boost) or if i drive it fast and take off my feet from the throttle several times this problem appears ...why ? sure this problem causes boost leak.
when i tight it , after driving fast it slips
check this pic...
(is there straight charge pipe without the ring)

You have the 09+ version of the ER charge pipe which mates up to the stock FMIC piping.

Couple questions

1) are you TQ the clamp down tight?

2) are you running the stock FMIC piping or have you upgraded the FMIC and changed out the piping?

If stock it should not be an issue.

The only reason I asked about the aftermarket FMIC is that sometimes the piping isn't installed correctly, etc. Since its all stock make sure the clamp is past the lip on the stock tubing so it has something to grab. Any chance there is oil on your pipe which is causing things to slip?

I would suggest tightening the clamp when you are certain it is flush with the coupling & FMIC piping. I noticed, on mine, you have to be careful with how it is seated. Or you can buy a different type clamp style. GL
