I was heading to work and the car finally warmed up. I was going on an incline to a bridge. So drop a gear and mash the gas. As soon as a smile on my face appeared and 15psi hit.... POP! Boost went by-by.

I freaked out and checked all my guages twice. I picked up my commander (the remote to my standalone setup) and checked all the vital components. I thought my turbo blew up and 18g's arent cheap to replace when new. I relaxed a little when I realised all the vitals were fine, the motor ran fine and no oil or smoke and all was fine.

I got to work, pooped the hood and found the air exit off the turbo simply blew off the charge pipe. Not a big deal at all. $2 at the hardware store and 5 minutes and its done.

WHEW!!!!!!

 

i would be scared also. Good thing nothing major happened.

 

I get blown couplers all the time...my originals were rubber, not silicone, so I gotta keep being creating and have a roll of duct tape on hand:-D

 

remmy and roto get t-bolts and you will have no more blown charge piping. remmy you scared me when you texted me this morning, good thing it was only a blown charge piping.

 

t-bolts ftmfw

 

Tyler, The don't get blown off, they get ripped...detiorated rubber FTW.

 

well damn dude get some nice couplers

 

glad to hear it was nothin more serious Rem

 

CAn't until I change my charge piping completely, some of these couplers are shaped and regular silicone ones I can't use...so I limited boost to 10psi for now.

 

Well, I went under the car and fixed it. I found that almost all of the underside brackets were loose. A few were even finger tight. I tightened the chit out of them. I then fired up the car and made boost. The black thunder is back on the road muhahaha.
