How many people have had this happen?

This only applies to the boosted people.
Youre driving along boosting as usual. Then suddenly BOOM.. it sounds like a gunshot going off.. The car shuts off.. You dont know if youve thrown a rod or what the hell has happened. You get out and pop the hood not knowing what to expect and to your suprise you find that youve blown the clamps clean off your intercooler piping and a hose has come off.
Ive had it happen to me three or four times. When it used to happen with the stock bpt setup the car would shut off because of the airflow meter.. It happened to me once this year with the haltech and its awesome because the car kept running and I could actually drive somewhere to fix it. Ahh... Map sensors.. God bless em. I always pop that piece that goes onto the throttle body off. Everything else is the super high end silocone couplers.. id have to run like 50 psi to break those Im sure.
Ive heard of people having them let go and taking half the bumper with it.
Anyone else have any hose popping experiences?
