How To Stop Boost Pipes Falling Off

I have a 96 Integra with stock b18b1 but came with a t4 turbo. Now I know that the turbo is huge for the engine but whenever I build boost around 9-10 psi, I dont hear boost anymore because a pipe or a coupling popped off. Is there a way to prevent that from happening alot because I dont want that happening while im racing or flooring it on highways.

I want to lay into to this post but I'll just assume you're "racing" on a track cos Patrick's track whore is your avatar lol.

Do you have a boost gauge, and post pics of your couplers, and check vacuum lines, you have a vacuum manifold or are they all spliced into the brake booster?

HAHAHA.

Anyway the if your pipes are metal, at the end of each pipe, heat it up and bend it into a small funnel shape. That will allow more grip with the clamp.

I've also heard you can spray hair spray between the rubber coupler and the metal pipe to make it stick better.

Exactly! Don't use slick end tubing, get bead rolled ends.
