I am having a problem with a boost boot that keeps blowing off the turbo on the drivers side post turbo, This problem started a few days ago when i mash the pedal all out and i have put 3 different sleeves on that worked prior & now even the sleeve that i got from guy at socal diesel seperates under full throttle. Could anyone put me on the right track to getting this fixed?

clean the surfaces with a degreaser/ wax remover or even mineral spirits /acetone , only time i blow boots off is if they get a bit of oil on them , if clean.............. mine never blow off even at 50 psi , are you using a good quality clamp ?

I double clamped mine on. Also make sure the piping is isnt dented, one of the times mine blew off it dented the boost tube.

i remember someone saying that after cleaning, they would use hair spray on the tube, then slip on the boost boot... could try that
