... rolls a bead / rib on both the ends of intercooler pipes, theory being the rib will make it difficult for the couplers to slide off during boost. Anyone know what that tool is named? trying to buy or rent one for my diy custom IC piping set up.
thanks

yup, bead roller. OR learn to tig weld and use less couplers.

you can also cut ribs into the metal for the hose to grip.
