The CCV is not a problem IMHO, but clean boots, etc at installation ARE required to keep them from slipping off. Better boots and clamps will help too.

Here's what my 'boost detector' looks like:

Hmmm, never thought of that. I believe I will build one tomorrow. I got the boot back on but I think I put too much paranoid strength on the clamp and over tightened it...oops! I'm guessing that it's going to pop off again when I head home in the morning. Oh well, I guess I will be looking for a clamp tomorrow too. Thanks, for the link.

 

Ummm, please see post #13, two posts above yours, and you will no longer be able to say "I dunno"

That's your fault, and you know it, and now you're trying to pass the blame off to me. I tried to tell you guys that replies before me show up later than I post, but noooo.... we had to go on a playful jaunt of "Where's Tugly?" instead of getting busy with inventing a new world where everything works perfectly. Nobody takes me seriously.

 

The end-all solution is here: (boots and clamps)
Riffraff Diesel Performance Parts: - Intercooler Boots

and here: (this allows you to replace the cheesy worm clamps on spider/plenums with 'real' clamps)
Riffraff Diesel Performance Parts: - Plenum Reinforcing Inserts

And you wonder why???
