Not to create havoc....but I installed my new charge tubes from Evolution Powersports last night and the stock charge tube clamps were barely holding in 2 spots. When I mean barely, I'm talking the clamp wasn't even over the hose on 1 side.

I will post a pic after this weekend.

Just take 2 minutes to look at hose clamps and other visual hose situations
 
No leaks when you used the Boost Leak Tester though?
 
No, blow off valve is good, worked like it should

Thanks
 
Last year when we got our first sidewinders there was a lot of cases of loose and /or mislplaced clamps. The three sidewinders we have all where good but it is an easy check. Pop the hood off ,get a flat head out and check them..

Good advice Terry. Once you've got everything torqued, mark the clamps with a paint pen and you can see at a glance if anything has moved:
