Wow, issue after issue!?!?
Yup. I spent an hour this morning getting to + tightening the T-bolt clamps on the hotside of the IC. Turn the car on, drive it and it holds boost (yay!). Get on the highway to come to work, speed up (slowly mind you) and as soon as it hit 18lbs the G******ed coupler gives again and I turn around and bring the car straight home. So once I'm home from work tonight I'm taking the piping off, putting the stock IC pipe back on and SERIOUSLY debating whether to take the IC off and reinstall the stock intercooler as well. I dealt with too many headaches with my last car to go through the same BS again. It's bad enough I'm burning the candle @ both ends at work so I need this like I need a hole in my head, but I'll keep you guys informed... :( Allex |
Does your IC piping have the lip and/or ridges that promote keeping the pipes on? All turbo/SC cars experience blown hoses at times. Yes, it can be frustrating, but hang in there.

I'm back in business!!! :one::nuts: I took the SS for a "test ride" and it held boost as normal. Went to 25lbs in Comp. Mode w/o a hitch. Even with Comp Mode off, I'm seeing 21lbs in 1st + 2nd gear on a hard take off. The stock hotside pipe hasn't moved one iota so I'm REALLY happy to see that :cool::D. I just need to get rid of this new code that popped up when the intercooler hose blew off (P0101- the MAF sensor code- could that be because of the IC piping coming loose??) and I'll be all set. OH! Since I saw this new code, I took off the K&N filter "just to be safe". As of right now though, I'm a much happier and SANER guy. Keep an eye out as I'll most likely put the Hahn piping up in the F/S forum... Later! Allex |
I would try to talk to HAHN, you spent the money, you should get to enjoy the product

Put some silicone adhesive behind the beaded area before installing tube,,this will keep the flex duct from moving around...

Thanks for the tip! But I've already removed the Hahn pipes.:( Stock pipe's holding up perfectly so I'll live without the extra 5hp or so. :smile: Later Allex |
