How can I stop boost pipes from popping off? Is there a special tool to make a ridge/flare on the end for the clip to sit behind? example here....
ok, ideas sound good. I was thinking of making a small ring of the same diameter but cutting it and sliding over the boost pipe then tak it on there. how much is expensive for the proper tool?
frost do one for 425 http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail....ID=18&FrostCat=Mechanical&FrostSubcat=Forming
Mole grips. 3 bits of metal, welder and patience. Not my work, a photo from elsewhere that is what you are after ?

I use those mikalor type clamps and apart from not tightening them up properly at first, They haven't come loose. I saw another way to do it using an exaust pipe flaring tool to expand the pipe which is then cut to make a ring. This is slipped onto the end of the pipe and tacked on. I think if pipes are just floating, they can move around and come loose.
