I am having problems with the front inter cooler pipe on my FR 130. I blew the pipe off as it had become worn and the clip would not hold it so my garage tried to hold it with screws but that came off pretty much straight away. I then had a had a genuine new one fitted at £140. This morning this one also blew off as I was joining the motorway. My garage has put it back in but they are scratching their heads and I am loosing confidence in the car. Could there be a blockage somewhere and if so why would it blow the brand new pipe off?

The pipe might be new but the intercooler is probably knackered, the pipe clips into the intercooler so if the first pipe was worn out then chances out the intercooler it clips into was likewise worn.
