Cool deal. Just looking out, would hate to see you spend all that time and effort to just have a coupling pop off mid burst. Ive had a turbo car before and I used worm gear clamps (the crappy kind) and a silicone coupler popped off one time. I thought I blew up the motor. It was not fun. Especially reaching down into a hot engine bay. That sucked. I'm a t-bolt or boost-brace guy like pictured above from here on out

How do you think the aluminum will hold up with the high temps?

Those are like 50 bucks a pop aren't they? Ive heard it makes things UBER easy to remove with one of them though.
