As of late the trick flow elbow is blowing off the tb @ 3psi. Normally I could lay down 12psi no problem but now--nope. Trick flow provided some chintsy clamps and the AS&M tb doesn't have a lip on it like the BBK's do. So do you think it's just the cheap clamps or is it a bigger issue? Can't find t-bolt clamps local and I'm not a fan of worm clamps either. The trickflow coupler too is garbage IMO so what size is the coupler we use on 58mm tb's? 3, 3.5"?
Tuning was for this week along w/ finally getting up in the 20+psi range.

Hopefully this is the problem but just wanted to see if others may have experienced this. Thanks.

Silas,

 

I used a 4" straight silicone coupler (trimmed to length) and 2 t-bolt clamps to hold mine together. My TB has no lip either and it held 18psi for quite some time before I had exploded an opti rotor and pulled the car back apart.

 

if your talking about the hole for the elbows to connect to the tb its a lil bigger than 4" i got a 4" to 3" reducer and hooked it up there, took some struggle, but got it on nice and tight. hope this helps

 

Its a 4" hose. I used gates white stripe reinforced hose and worm clamps. The gates hose has good properties as far as sticking to the metal on the throttle body. Its similar to water hoses. Even after the clamp is removed it sticks to the metal.

 

I have t bolts and they hold on with my maxed f1a at 19psi. I'm very interested in hearing your results

 

Thanks guys, this gives me hope. I'm off to find a suitable replacement tomorrow if anything is open around here.
