Tube falling off

I am having a problem with my tubes from the turbo to the intercooler slipping off when I am pulling a load. It usally happens when I am going up a hill and push it a little. My boost is only at 28 psi, any ideas what is going on?

replace your clamps...

look for oil in your boost circuit (do you have enough air filter?)

clean everything w/ brake cleaner and slide the boots over the wet connections. crank down your new clamps, give a few hours for all of the brake clean to evaporate out of the charge tubes and enjoy

Thanks, I doubled up the clamps, all new. I hope I have enough air filter. Thanks again.

If they pop off again try using cheap hair spray on the boots before you slip them on. Works great.

Well I just got back from my trip, and no problems with tubbing falling off anymore. The double clamp really helped. All I have left to fix is that darn oil leak. Then all is good. Thanks for all your help.
