So last night I was driving home - rather spiritedly I might add, and all of a sudden my car has a horrendous stutter and all turbo power is lost!

So immediately I think, great I've just blown a turbo! Funny too because I had just been hassling my boyfriend about having a look at my car for me & saying that if he doesn't have look at it soon it will blow up!

So I drive it home, very sedately & with no boost and am starting to stress about how much this is all going to cost me!

So this morning I thought, may as well open my bonnet just so I can look at my car and feel even more confused. But this is what I found....

Get a bead rolled onto the end of that pipe so it won't pop off in future.

Michael, that look sliek the stock throttle body hose thats been cut and had the BOV adaptor pipe fitted to it .

Get the pipe beaded or lipped, that will stop it coming off. And dont worry bout the hose clamps, mine are still hanging on after 3 yrs of 18psi punishment ,hehe.

Consider yourself lucky it was the pipe up the top. Mine went right down under the battery.

As, every one else has said, see if you can get a lip or bead put on that pipe, so the clamp has something to hold against.

Looks like the normal Turbosmart or Blitz adaptor pipe they sell specific for the BOV for SOarers to me.
