Intercooler piping pops apart all the time. I already know that hairspray is a go-to solution. Supposedly T-bolts are good for 20psi. Seems that people are using hairspray when they have ****ty worm clamps. But I found some info where Evos are using hairspray with T-bolts. I know Evos generally run more than 20psi.
I feel like hairspray is an odd solution. I would like to use an actual adhesive. But I have no idea what adhesive (other than hairspray) is going to be appropriate for this application.

Car Info: 2013 Forester on Towstrap
LOL! Well I guess more like get the car towed out using the front bar. Since my current setup doesn't allow for the bar to be used as a tow point.
Should be dropping off the car on Monday but don't know about how long it'll take.

But I don't want to use hairspray...

Are you running a fmic on your car? A tmic should never have this problem if oem support brackets are in place and everything is lined up.
Also tbolts are not needed. at all. in fact, most times they'll damage your piping because they're way too strong. There are multiple Subaru's running 40-50PSI ( not a type-o!! ) on proper worm clamps and no hair spray.
So back to your hairspray/glue fetish: why are you trying to fix a problem with another problem?

I feel like I'm still missing something.

That was far too much to respond to.
LOL @ the Hitler/Fresh Pots/Friday mashup. Still want it as a ring tone.
LOL @ QQ popping hoses at 20 psi. Install **** correctly? LMAO, in fact. I'm (now) up 22.5 psi and use worm gear clamps. Should I use LA Looks on all my fittings since I'm top mount or is Aqua Net still OK?
