I've had no problems with this until a couple of days ago. I down shifted, normaly and the turbo out pipe popped off. ok... no problem, fixed it, it was fine for a day popped off again...? I don't know what would be causing it, don't mind fixing it, just a pain in the rear. I did replace it with the Forge pipe, and im running at 15psi max boost... If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!
Thanks

where is it popping off? With 2 clamps holding it down, and hose clamps on both ends...it would seem to be near impossible to move if tightened down correctly...
If a hose is popping off, then you may want to invest in good clamps...

It could be that it's just not seated properly.
When I did my DV relo last summer, the hose between the driver side IC and the throttle body began popping off. This was simply because while I had trimmed it perpendicular to the pipe, the angle at which I'd trimmed didn't allow it to seat properly on the IC outlet.
Get yourself a couple t-bolt clamps from Napa while you're at it. Great little piece of hardware.

That's such a tight fit between the turbo and the pressure pipe that it almost seems like it'd stay on without clamps. It must not be getting seated on the turbo correctly.

make sure it's actually sitting flush all the way around the base of the hose and not kinked at all. If it tightens at an angle then it'll work its way loose pretty quickly.

Ended up being the clamps I was using. They were striped out at the tightened point. I found out that is why they say you should get new ones when you get the new pipe.

Does anyone have spare hose that comes from bottom of the turbo into a metal pipe under the car? ...
