It's all of them. It's like they all shit the bed at the same time. First time it was the clamp holding the hose on the actual intercooler, second time it was the intercooler hose/TOP. I haven't taken the wheel liner out yet but I'm guessing now it's the clamp at the TOP/Turbo hose.

I know you have upgraded mounts, but when my mounts went bad, my hose kept popping off because of way too much engine movement was literally pulling the hose off.

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
found the culprit. My AWE TOP apparently has gotten pretty hot. The section that the intercooler hose goes over was smoothed over and slick as butter. I took a dremel to it and roughed it up a bunch creating some gouges in it for the hose to hold on better. And I was able to put 2 constant tension clamps on it. If it pops off again I'll have to get a new TOP but I think it's good to go. Will never be able to sell it because it looks like hot garbage now, but more functional than before lol. Forgot to take pics.

Well that was an awesome weekend. I love Grattan so much, that track is just so much fun. I have some good vids that I'll post later. Car did great. I think I finally sorted out the hose popping off issue.
