Desperate needs call for desperate measures

Boost pipe quick remedy, just need a green gasket I think is : 3C0145117F

Desperation:

2mm Pilot hole and screw:

Angle grinder at a negative angle to prevent a chamfer which would allow it to pop off again:

Screws left long so it doesn’t just pop out and go into the engine:

Without buying an alloy coupler, I'm sure this won't wear down a Steel bolt

agree the thought is there however it cannot.

See the final photo. The entire steel head would have to snap off

Usual trick is to do it with some tie wraps. One either side of the metal part of the hose and three connecting between either side. This will keep any boost hose on if done correctly. Fixed my mates 1.9PDI like this over 18 months ago and hose is still on. Before this it was popping off at least once a week.
Or if you have suitable jubilee clips you can use those.

Thanks I will be reinforcing like this when I the replacement turns up, mine is on the plastic neck of the inter-cooler outlet

My car isn't worthy of an Alloy inter cooler investment
