Popped a charge pipe... Twice!

Just a reminder for y'all to make sure if you run an Intercooler to ensure your clamps are PAST the lips, and not on it! Not doing so had me reattaching these on the roadside or parking lot, on two occasions. Don't make your Si naturally aspirated!

If you find it still doesn't want to stay in place (unlikely) you can spray a bit of hair spray on the pipe before attaching the silicone coupler.

Good tip! I believe it was because it was removed for my clutch install, since the pipes popping off are the ones on the clutch side. I have reinstalled each according to PRL's instructions, and been liberal with tightness and checking for even pressure and no bulging. But if it happens on more than on pipe I'll definitely consider it, considering I've got the extra hold no dye stuff for my 3D printer anyways!

That's a sweet tip!
