charge tube blowing off
the rubber elbow on the esc base kit came off at the blower after almost a decade after i upped the boost to 20 psi.
it got projected in between the frame/craddle and the sway bar and hit the ground. the clamp that is considerably larger than the gap stayed on and got ovaled. the hose now has a surprizingly big hole in it.
i was able to temporarily fix and reinstal it. i made a strap going around the craddle, sway bar and elbow so it doesnt happen again. might be a good preventive measure.

Happened to me, apparently when I half throttled it it created backpressure due to the BOV being insufficient. Consider a bigger BOV if tightening it doesn't fix your issue.
