Need a Chargepipe what to get?

This evening my OEM charge pipe blew again... this is the second time this has happened to me and its becoming a real annoyances bringing it back and fourth to the dealership to get it replaced. My question is what is a good charge pipe that will hold the amount of boost that I am running. I have a AWE BOV and not sure which charge pipe this will fit with. Can anyone chime in and suggest a good charge pipe that will fit with my AWE BOV. I'd really appreciate thanks guys

Spray some hair spray on the coupler before you slide it on. Really, we do it all the time on evo's and sti's

that will only work for the charge pipe to intercooler piping, the throttle body end of the charge pipe has no coupler, its plastic to metal, retained by basically a big paper clip.

op i'd suggest a stett charge pipe, but i don't know if they make one that will work with your BOV

I love my BOV, I can't imagine giving it up, I'm having trouble researching for a charge pipe that will complement this.
