    This is going to sound really ghetto, but it worked for me. For some reason one of my ic couplers would always burst so one day my dad came home from work and handed me one of these couplers. obviously the one in the pic is not rated for high temp, but you get the idea. The metal 'sleeve' will prevent the coupler from expanding and popping like a balloon. If your problem is simply that the coupler keeps 'popping' than you might want to try using one of your heavy duty CF 7 ply couplers/Forge clamps wrapped with one of these metal sleeves to prevent the CF coupler from expanding/popping under boost.



    edit: the cheep black plumbing coupler in the above pic slides right out. simply remove it then replace it with one of your heavy duty CF couplers/forge clamps.

    the total cost is about $3 and worst case scenario you blow another coupler. its worth a shot if you ask me.
