Hey guys, I just got my Procharger put on my truck and I have got a question. I am pushing about 13psi. of boost, and when I give it gas from under the hood, my intake pipe after the intercooler is expanding big time. I made it out of some 4" rubber elbows and aluminum 4" tubing. At first I was popping seams everyday, then I put some Tbolt clamps on the seams and that seems to do the trick. But when I get into boost, the rubber elbows look like they are going to blow up! Am I loosing boost by wasting energy on making the rubber swell? I do have about 8 rubber elbows. Does silicone hose for turbos not swell as much? More stable? Any suggestions?

 

Was your truck at futral having some work done to it?

 

I know on the Duramax they have a metal coil/spring that goes around the tubing on the intercooler. My guess would be to keep it from expanding. You might want to try that.

 

Check out turbonetics. They have some great looking rubber connections in any size and shape you need. They wont swell like the rubber will either

 

yes Futral just did my truck for the last few weeks.
