Default I have personally seen them blow from overspin.

a result of the TBB popping off under full boost. You should be OK if stock tho.

who knows lol. maybe the fitment isnt as good since its not stock and its not as big as the samcos, possibly making it trickier?? who knows, it is quite annoying though lol

Default Mine popped off 5 times (3 times at the track) before I switched back to stock.

But I ordered a Breeze CT clamp and am going to try it one more time...

It comes off becuase there is no lip on the large opening. Since it is silicone, just like the Samco they cannot mold the same lip as the stock. I'm going to give the 034 one more try.

You really should be fine. It has happened to me several times at full boost on Stage 2.

Default breif overspin, but if you are running the MAF and N75, the computer is going to cut throttle, and

timing, and flip the wastegates wide open (if there is enough boost pressure to crack the gates)

Pretty much instantly.
