Problem with this intercooler pipe

[JINO]

Spent over a month at 2 dealerships. Both are giving me different codes.

One is upper EGR, other is lower EGR cooler.

I noticed the pipe that connects to throttle body was loose. I pulled it off, and popped back on. Cleared codes, and went for a drive. It drove normal.
Before, there was no pressure and only drove in limp mode.

10 minutes later, back to limp mode, and I checked the pipe and it feels loose again.

Anyone had this issue before? Would changing this pipe fix the cause? It seems like it keeps getting loose, and is really soft. It was replaced over a year ago by dealer. But they are incompetent and I dont want to go back there as I burned that bridge.

I had a problem with the same charging hose. The dealer changed it and it worked fine. The charging hoses are pliable and some how there was a small hole in mine. I decided to replace both of mine with aFe solid and polished charging hoses. Discovered the dealer put in a solid charging hose. (Had no idea they got smart.) i have read if you replace one, shortly after that the other one fails. So, I replaced both of them.

A few weeks later I got another code and discovered the plug that goes into the sensor charging hose was twisted and the wire was shorted out. I pulled the pins and put heat shrink around each wire and then put another around both of the wires together. The o-ring in the aFe charging tube is much tighter the the OEM!

Ok ill order the AFe one. Was changing the tubes a easy thing to do?

I have the AFE charge pipes too. They were easy to install. I was surprised to need to move the clips over, but it was an easy task. I never got a code before or after. I noticed a failed o-ring (post turbo) an oil leaking is what prompted the upgrade for me. Good luck!

It was not difficult. I had to cut off toehold one, that was the hardest part. Install is quick.
