2007 mcs turbo inlet pipe issues
Has anyone ever had a problem with the coupler that connects the pipe to the turbo? I've been having a problem with getting it to stay attached. The clamp just pushes the pipe off the rubber ring that seems to go in the pipe. I'm still new to the car and would like to get this resolved before it causes to many problems. It came off tonight and the car lose ALL power and died out, but I managed to get it to stay on to get home.

Likely contaminated with engine oil from the mist coming from the PCV. Clean it with brake cleaner and re-assemble, shouldn't work it's way off after that.
Don't overtighten the clamp or you'll split the rubber sleeve.

You are in the Gen 1 forum, I think you meant to post in the Gen 2 w/ the turbo.
I believe you are talking about number 10 in the diagram , the ribbed version. And its cracked down by the turbo?

Some people have upgraded to the JCW Pipe. Which is #10 in the diagram, smooth version.

Or the Forge Silicone intake hose. We carry many Forge products.

My bad for posting in the wrong section I've been using my phone and must hit the wrong one by mistake. Anyways I just noticed that the spot where it connects the intake pipe to the rubber coupler is torn slightly, so I'm just saying screw and upgrading the intake pipe with the Alta intake pipe found it relatively cheap.
