FTP Charge Pipe leaks on B48 engine

Hello,
last year I installed this aluminium charge pipe on my car.
I recently noticed like an oily film on the silicon hose;
the screws are tighten but, after some miles, the dirt comes out again.
What can I do?

Replace coupler and change clamps.
I used this one works better than the original one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My coupler used to blow out but on 24+psi.
For the clamps get the T-bolt hose clamps.

Also remove chargepipe and clean if you have plenty oil.

I'm thinking to re-install the original charge pipe.
Does alu charge pipe brings benefits actually?

Its mainly for safety but stock on b48/b58 should be fine unless some serious boost.

I would like to report the FLAWLESS conduct by FTP company.
Mr Kayo saw my problem and now he is sending me (for free) a new updated silicon hose.

FTP have a great reputation. I'm not surprised they reached out to resolved your issue. It's helps ensuring future sales too

Thats great for you, I reported it before in 2020 but he told me mine was over a year old so I needed buy the part as it passed the warranty period.
