Intercooler piping poping off is normal for evo's.. especially were the UICP is.

i would suggest u replace all your clamps with new T-Bolt clamps from MAP, or what ever u find.

Same thing happened to me yesterday but the ASC off warning went on also. Just got my car tuned a few days ago too so I thought something was wrong with my tune. I was in 5th gear doing 60 on the freeway and decided to accelerate to overtake a car when it happened. My tuner said I over boosted and the car went into limp mode.

First who did the tuning for you? Also make sure you search thoroughly before bringing up dead threads

I did and over boosting seems to be the issue. Just wanted to see if you experts had anything to say about it.

Take it to an EVO shop, boost leak, over boost... Too many x variables to have one determine factor.
15min diagnose will save you time, parts, headaches and worries in the long run.
