Just to let you know the said pipe is a joining pipe so doesn't go directly into the intercooler 

Most likely the lugs on the other pipe are worn then mate; best to replace that one too although I know they aren't exactly cheap  :sad:

Buy yourself a bag of clips  :grin anytime a pipe comes off change the clip for a new one. I usually also replace a pipe or 2 a year due blowing holes in them  :cry:
