Got it running, ran... decent, then the intercooler pipe flew off. Put it back on, ran decent again... pipe flew off a second time, put it back on tighter. Battery wasn't fully charged so it died. Got it jumped, and when it started, it ran like scheize. Felt like it was running on one cylinder. Then when the hoses came off and the car died.
The battery died in the process of the install. I just jumped the car and took the car for a test drive. Could this be an alternator or battery problem?

the pipe blowing off means you have to much boost or week clamps repalce the clamps and turn it up even more its not high enough unless your blowing the hoses open

Make sure that there's no oil on the metal pipes that would make it easier for the hoses to pop off.

I drilled holes in the end of the pipes and put small dome head screws in either side slipped the hoses and clip over the top and tightened. that stoped the hoses from going anywhere. prob solved.

Alright guys, thanks for the tips... but let me make myself more clear. I am not trying to figure out how to get my pipes to stay on. Im trying to figure out why after they DID fly off, the car is still running like **** with them fastend back on.

have you looked at the integrity of the AMM? how about the injector seals? fuel filteR? and replace voltage regulator or brushes.
