Alta CAI ?

Anyone else have trouble keeping their Alta CAI in place? Mine keeps pulling the tube off of the turbo. I keep adjusting it to try different angles but it still keeps pulling off. Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks

You not talking about making a sleeve from it to add grip are you? Or just roughing up the interior?

It's most likely the gasket that holds the pipe on the turbo once they go through a number of heat cycles they deform... Bad news at least for my engine you have to but the whole peipe assembly to get the gasket

I'd check to make sure that the intake isn't pulling on the turbo inlet at all. You can adjust the 90 degree coupler on the ALTA intake going to the MAF housing to help if it is, if you can't get it to line up correctly, let me know.
