every time i acelerate in the car this hose blows of . i have got a jubelee clip on there at teh mo but it wont hold . is there any one tht makes a pipe that will replace this It comes of where it goes from metal to rubber to metal at the back , please help




 
hi, i had this problem, just get a normal silicone straight reducer (cant remember the exact size you need) from siliconehose.com and two good quality stainless steel clamps i use the miklor ones but there are other types, and you will be up and running in no time for about half the price if that. i run on high ish boost and not had any problems with it blowing off or the heat it encounters affecting the hose, hope that helps.:)
 
cheers people for ya help . as it not much fun losing power in the fast lane of the motorway lol
 
when you order the reducer it will tell you the wall thickness in relation to the ply of the hose (ply=how many layers of fiber weave the hose containes) so if you got a 50 mm inside diamiter hose and the wall thickness is 5mm you would need a 60mm clamp approx (2x5mm wall thickness gives an outside diamiter of 60mm) but you will have to measure the exact size because i cant remember what i ordered.:)
 
You want a 54mm-48mm reducer from forge, and some jubilee clamps, make sure you leave a bit of a gap above the edge of the pipe so the clamps can grip correctly.
