The clip looks fine to me from that picture. You will probably find the metal coupling on the intercooler hose has worn. I would take the hose off and inspect the coupling.

Both clip and hose will be availabe from main dealers.

ok after taking the pipe completely out abd inspecting its deffo not rhe pipe see 1st pic looks completely fine , after going further back i looked at the thing it clamps onto it comes out as the intercooler is also clipped onto this attachment taken pics of it looks worn out round the edges see 2nd pic when i turned it around and clipped it onto the other side it worked fine for a while ( has the same type of teeth both sides) i even had a good blast in the car but 2 hours later it came off again , anyone know what its called and where i can get one from trying to aviod a stealership as much as i can bad experiance , also the top of my pipe looked very dirty looks like i need to clean the carb see pic 3

Yeah i thought the coupling would have been worn. Unfortunately you have to buy a new boost pipe mate as the coupling and hose can't be separated. AFAIK the hose is dealer only aswell

thanks for your reply it was the bottom coupling that was worn this is detachable see pic attached
