ranging from 5-7psi, safe???

 

Yeah, I ran some for awhile, but they seems to get soft/wornout/etc... in a few months, but for 1$ a peice on a low cash/boost setup they work great...

 

I've been boosted for 500 miles now at 10 PSI...I've never had any blow off yet. I haven't checked the condition though. My only worry would be them tearing up the silicone, but think everything is ok

 

Mine never tore, but they do seem to seperate a lot.

 

They are a good bang for the buck. I cant believe how much some places want for those couplings.

 

I just put mine on but they look good and they havent blown off yet!

 

I bought some for my old Precision intercooler, and even at 14lbs with an SC61 have never blown off

 

They are 5 bucks at HD over here in NY.

Mine seem to be holding fine on 7 psi.

They do get a bit soft though.

 

cool cool, looks like ill be goin to the HD soon

Im running 12psi of boost right now on them.. If you do have a problem with them blowing off then put a little hairspray on the charge pipe before you slide them on.. Also get some t-bolt clamps and youll never have a problem..

 

they should work alright, what makes the others so much more is that there oil resistant

 

or you can do what i did and get an exhaust flare tool. Flare out the end of the piping say 1/8 inch and then place the coupling on and place a hose clamp on before the flare in the pipe and if you get it tight enoughthe clamp will be tightened enough so that the clamp is now lower than the flare, you wont have to worrie about them blowing off. I dont know if this helped or just confused.

 

For the 5-7lbs you are talking about I think you should be fine.

 

i've had some problems with them. I'm on my third coupling from lowes. The one right off of my turbo. I have t-bolt clamps and silicone couplers everywhere else but there. I'be just been too lazy to get one that's 1.5" in silicone. Anyways, it keeps splitting and it blows off alot. Whoever said its silicone is wrong they are made of nitrile and they get really soft when they get heated up.
