Ok so I have had the vrsf cp for about 3 months now, no problems. I installed the jb4 saturday, and it's popped off 3 times from whatever the pipe closest to the front off the car is. At first I thought it maybe just wasn't tightened all the way, so I tightened it up and it did fine until tonight, and tonight it didn't just slip off. The rubber hose connector thing blew off and is all crinkled up now. Someone please let me know if you've had this problem and let me know of any possible solutions. thanks

the new tune must be making a lot more boost and that's why it's blowing the pipe off. try the T clamp instead of the worm/screw clamp, they are a lot more robust.

That's the thing, I already have two t clamps and 2 screw clamps. I tightened them tighter than superman himself could have tightened them. Yet after a few days at wot it's as if it just blew right off

Tiago pointed out to me that the clamp has to be completely behind the lip of the CP.

Alright I'll have to wait until tonight to post pictures

Well I got it back on, but last night I was racing a zl1 and now my car is making some very weird noise. It's like I can hear my turbos spool up, but I'm not getting any boost(car feels really slow) and after they spool up and I let off the gas they make this really weird sound. Not Sure How To explain It yet. Car isn't smoking or giving any obvious signs of anything wrong, and I'm pretty sure there's no waste gate rattle. I put the car on Craigslist last night because I'm just terrified something major is about to go wrong.

And this is the part of "Wheeler Dealer" that we never see. Someone is going to buy your car for pennies on the dollar (because of it's current ailment) and spend 45 minutes redoing the silicone sleeves and flip it.

Before taking the inherent loss on dumping the car, when it isn't working properly, take it to a reputable independent and let them at least do a proper assessment.

Actually the car is fine now. I fixed it again. I just want to get out of it before something does happen. I put it up for $20k even though I only payed 17 for it.
