Turbo outlet pipe popping off???
Whenever I acclerate hard the pipe from the turbo to the charge pipe will pop off. It's really starting to erk me because I can't have fun with my car. The guys up at my local shop told me that T-bolt clamps should fix the problem. Have any of you guys had this issue? I have the Forge turbo out pipe, Revo tune, PSI spikes at 22 and settles back to 20.
HELP PLEASE!!!

With that much boost you should probably upgrade to an aftermarket (silicone) outlet hose and a T-bolt clamp. That is a lot more boost than the factory hardware was designed to hold.

I do have the Forge turbo outlet pipe, it's not a matter of it failing. Where it meets the turbo will get blown off completely. I know there is a bit of oil there that would lubricate it, but not this often.

Buy a constant tourqe T-bolt clamp to install. They are wider (more surface area) than the factory clamps and with expansion and heat they keep a more uniform pressure. You will see them on most all turbo or supercharged race cars. http://www.breezeclamps.com/products.htm
