My boost hose has popped off again!! A regular site in forums.
A common problem with turbo systems is hoses slipping or popping off. This is caused by high pressure within the system forcing the hose off. Often the clips that hold the hoses in place are not strong enough to withstand this pressure. If the hoses pop off you will know immediately as it will affect performance considerably.
Although all Viper Performance aluminium pipes come with Roll Beaded ends to prevent hoses slipping, in some cases, pressure is so high that even the tightest fitted hoses are unable to stay in place. This can be annoying if you’re on the road but catastrophic in a race environment.
So what’s the answer?
The boost brace is specifically designed to solve this problem. You can simply weld the flat seat of the feet onto your aluminium pipes, adjust the length of your bracket, and eureka, hoses will never come off again.
What’s more is that thanks to our clever quick release pin, you can remove your installation in a second with no tools!

A recent survey conducted by Halfords Autocentres of 20,000 motorists found that almost a third of motorists (32 per cent) believed that kicking tyres is an adequate test to see if they are properly inflated or not. What is more concerning is that almost two-in-five motorists (40%) have no idea what the minimum legal tyre tread depth is.

The basics of the combustion engine remain the same regardless of the size of vehicle the engine is powering. If you have an engine you will need a hose. The only difference is that it be scaled up to fulfil the needs of larger vehicles.
