OK here is what I got. I went up on boost from 5.5psi to 12 psi. Now the hose that comes from the FMIC to the pipe before the MAF keeps blowing off. What is the deal ? Are the hoses that come w/the kit not capable for more than 6 or 7psi?

I've used two approaches. TIG a bead around the offending tube (the right way), or (I am embarrased to admit) two-part epoxy and weed-eater line (like HUGE fishing line) Both worked and never failed, though the TIG is not as cheap.

Take your pick...

So the supplied hoses are not capable to hold more than 7-8 psi? Tigweld is not a problem.

Weld a bead around the pipe and be done with it

The hose that's the problem. As mentioned, a ridge on the pipe, and good quality t-bar clamps... Forget the regular screw hose clamps, for that application.

do you not have a bov or you should get one or get the one you have working properly

most good FI systems have a lip rolled into the ends of all the piping

It sounds like you have 2 problems

1) You need a larger BOV. If your BOV was not designed for that type of boost then you will still pressurize the intake tube on decel.

2) A simple T-bar clamp will fix MOST of your problem. ALL good F/I systems should only run T-bar clamps. The basic ones are JUNK..

Weld a bead on the pipes.Also not enough BOV will blow them too.
I still use cheap worm clamps on 18psi of boost and never blew a hose off Just weld a good bead and have enough BOV

I read on here once that spraying hair spray on the tube helps a lot

I seen a nice approach to this on an intercooler kit for a Toyota Starlet from a guy in Sri Lanka of all places...

They actually Tig'd a bit of welding rod around the pipe to create a lip ( stainless in this case )

dognut the pipe with 3M Scotch 130c (self fusing tape)

I just welded a bead on the ends and all issues went away.

We use a bead roller on our intercooler plumbing for this reason. Bob

It does have a BOV, wich comes w/the kit. I'm going to tig all the Pipes to be safe but do I need a different BOV?
