cheers for the heads up but its the fact that there is no bead to stop them
my car is running lots of boost, and being a diesel the pipes are full of oil anyway, but i have cleaned the joins. i also use the miklor clamps (or however it is spelt) from gm stevens and i've done them up so tight its distorted the pipes.
basically upgraded my intercooler and had to custom make some pipework that entailed cutting down the ali pipes and therefore losing the beading. i will now be replacing this piping again and putting the beading back on afer i have cut the pipes down
you can see the intercooler here
