mines on 20-21LBS of boost and i dont have this problem at all, tighten the t-blot clamps if you you this problem again, if you keep having this problem i reccommend that you invest in harndened charge pipe with bead rolled lips. note my pipes are stock at the momment but i dont have this problem, and the cars well over broken in, in mileage, guess i just got lucky and got one of the ten that were built right.....lol sorry GM
Everyone has the same bolt that is attatched to the charge pipe ... Mine didnt happen till about 2500 miles..
So....
It will happen
I bet you !

mines been on 21 LBS on the stock pipe and it been there for some time now, its not popping off and its not going to. two weeks Im going to have hardened pipes that are bead rolled anyways, and im not paying anywhere as near as everyone for hahn or synapse kits.

It's still the same bolt every one else has... LOL what are you trying to say .. It looks countersunk and is probably going to pop off any day .. .. How far is that pipe from the blue dot on the flange ?
Is it an inch or more ?

I'm surprised that since GM did 600 launches with launch control, therefore hitting boost a lot, they never ran into this problem, or better yet, never addressed and fixed it, lol.
