bad aspects of IC piping popping off while driving?
riding in my friends car and his IC piping popped off and we couldnt get to it since it was behind the bumper and we were almost to his house. finally realized his piping came off on the sides of the iC. reconnected, the car still acts funny and idles like crap (shuts off frequently). what could be the worst things that could've happened as far as damage goes?

The only thing that can happen if your IC piping or couplings comes loose is..NO BOOST. I had the coupling near the compressor come off one time and it just prevented me from boosting.

Overspin can happen if you drive the car hard enough even once. The wastegate has no input on the boost so it won't open the crack goes your wheel 
. As far as engine, nothing it'll just be stock NA again

I had this happen to a friend over the weekend. He was running 15 lbs and got on it and one the pipes blew off. He said that the sound of it scared the hell out of him.

it feals espescially bad because you have the turbo in your exhaust flow. Your car will be much slower with a turbo and no boost than if it was just na.

Re: (JDM96SpecCTR)
if you don't have t-bolts for the couplers and are useing worm clamps, try spraying a little hairspray on the piping before you put it back together. it helps the piping slide into the coupler and when it dries it puts a little extra stick on everything.
