Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Stock Turbo Charge Tube and Couplings?

[Ramtuf1]

The last two trips that I have taken, I have had the lower turbo rubber coupling pop off the charge tube and consequently I have lost my boost. It had some oil residue on the outlet end which let it slip out from under the tightened clamp.



I had a new rubber sleeve installed with new clamps but I'm only running a stock engine with 20/21 PSI boost. What couplings do any of you use for bombed trucks putting out more boost. Is there an after market coupling that is of a heavier rubber or perhaps reinforced rubber?



If anyone knows a manufacturer and part number if there is such a part made. I would appreciate it.

Appreciate the link. Anyone else have any further information as to what sizes etc. to order without measuring my installation? Any part numbers would be handy.



Thanks

You'll probably want to check this out too. I believe you can get these nice hoses and clamps here as well.
