well I dont know how different turbos and radix's are, but Eddie (la riddler) is running a radix with a 224/224 112lsa cam and he is barely pushing 4PSI boost cus of safety issues.

the pipe does have a flare or something to it right? you're clamping it properly by squeezing the hose down on the far side of said flare to the point you see the rubber bulging on each side? T-bar or worm-drive hose clamps??...
