You will see that the hoses on the Throttle body also has some kind of epoxy around the joints. When my new grommet poped out after my first freeway on-ramp excursion, I decided to put epoxy around the outer ring of the grommet. I also took and flanged the inside of the gromet so instead of looking like a T it now looks like an I. I jsut slowly heated the bottem ens and used a big fat Kindergarden pensil to spread out the bottom. I used the old grommet as atemplate on how far down to flange teh end. It hasen't come out since and its now over a year since my grommet replacement. BTW, I'm only runnign about 18 psi of boost and 6.5 psi base boost. Pic below of what it looked like when I was done. don't get the rubber much over 225 farenheit
