I've still been having a few problems keeping IC piping clamped at high boost levels so I took this 6" long injen coupling I've had laying around for years and used it to hit the main problem area which was the Turbo outlet/hot pipe connection. I slipped it over the 5 ply expensive coupling I had on there and clamped it in 3 places:
So this has fixed that problem rather nicely and I previously fixed all other connections in a similar fashion with the exception of the one on the cold pipe immediately to the right in the pics above. The good 5 ply coupling that I have there is simply too short [3"] to clamp in anymore than 2 spots and so now it's the one that blows off. So here is what I'm looking for: I need a Injen brand Red coupling with a 3" diameter [2.75" minimum inside diameter] and a minimum of 4" long but ideally a 6" long coupling would do the trick quite nicely. This will allow me enough room to slip it over the high dollar coupling I have on there and then apply 2 clamps to each side [one for the injen the other over the injen to clamp the expensive coupling underneath]. It would totally be cake if it had the Injen Logo on it like the one shown as these are the first thing you see through the hood vent before I pop the hood and obviously appearance means alot to me. If anyone has one laying around or is willing to trade out their existing coupling for another brand +$$$ please hit me up.

I use a 2.5" coupling just fine?
The problem is with the clamps though, I've snapped the bolts on boost clamps by torquing them down and they still weren't tight enough to prevent boost leak. I tried the regular cheap clamps TRIDON or NORTON seems to be the brand at auto stores and gas stations, they are no good either. The best results I've had is the original clamps that came with the 3s-gte (with the throttle cable hook). -------------------- Mike W
