Well I got sick and tired of the Charge piping coming off every other day after some hard boosting. I guess it was a combo of the engine moving backwards, pulling on the coupler and the boost which blew the coupler off.
I wasn't able to use T-bolt clamps on this section of the piping because it is somewhere around 2.75", and I only had 2.5" ones.
I got the supplies from a local hardware store for like $3. Here are some pics of what I did:







Now there is no tension on the coupler, and the coupler is there just to seal the piping. I went out for a long drive, boosted alot and it didn't budge, so hopefully it will hold up.

 

Interesting solution. Hope it solves your problem.

 

maybe you should get rid of the home depot/ loews pipe couplers...

 

I have silicon couplers with T-bolt clamp's on every other connection except there, I just didn't find a 2.75" silicon coupler. . .

 

yea get rid of that fernco coupling and get a t-clamp with some baker presicion hose and youll be alright

 

this is a great idea for someone that doesn't have access to a welder but PLEASE use that Tread LOCKING Liquid. you wouldn't want the nut on the inside to come loose and go into your motor.

 

have a beed welded around the end of the piping.

 

that is how 1500HP turbo mustangs do it, they have one on just about every pipe, if can get a flaring tool, it might have stoppped the problem......i use 3M psray glue on my charge pipes and they NEVER come off!

+ hair spray. ghetto but it gets the job done

 

Good Idea My friend used a ratchet strap wrapped around the IC and the IC piping to keep his from coming off.

 

some small weld'd dots around the perimeter of the ends of my piping also did a nice job.

I wish I had access to a bead roller!
