superglue is not the solution.

Are u using the Oem c clamp connection and sticking the piping inside of it? If so that's is not the proper connection. You need to take out that whole piece and it slides over the new intercooler piping.

I think you are missing the correct coupler off your IC.

You've probably ruined the silicon pipe by putting super glue on it. Nothing other than the right clamp will keep it from coming off.

Lifted07Duramax · 06-23-2013, 01:33 PM

get a new coupler and new clamp from the maker of the intercooler

3000GT MR · 06-23-2013, 02:31 PM

Fix it asap. Every time it blows off its unloading the turbos causing them to over speed. Good way to blow them.

alexukie · 06-23-2013, 02:54 PM

yea im not driving it.. im gonna go get a t clamp tomorrow morning.. will it do any thing if i put that clamp where the oem c clamp is?? since its plastic???

Napa carries them they are very good nothing should happen unless you're the guy in green and crush it! lol

You can't use silicone hoses with the stock FMIC. It won't connect because it's designed using a c-clip connector.

Rotorocious · 06-23-2013, 03:28 PM

What intercooler is that?

Nope you have to have the right connectors, did you just purchase the car? Looks like someone did a half ass job putting in back the stock intercooler.

black335i · 06-23-2013, 04:37 PM

Change the hose the super glue probably wont allow it to seal like it was designed

The Ghost · 06-23-2013, 06:10 PM

I would either purchase new OEM IC piping (I'm sure someone local to you have them laying around), or buy a FMIC kit and call it a day. I'd chose #2 personally.
