resetting the ecu can't hurt ... i read somewhere that after you add aftermarket parts you are supposed to reset the ecu.

I had the same problem.
I flared the ends.
How did you reset the ECU?

you will have to get the ends flared like said above then you will not have any problem with them coming off and yup that sucks because i had made the lower intercooler pipe and didnt have the end flaired and had the same problem and i know it sucks. good luck.

REsetting the ECU will more likley hurt than help, for a short time anyway. The ECU constantly adjusts. If your parts make any difference, it will compensate within 5 minutes of idling, and 10 minutes of steady cruise.

Flaring the ends is the best thing to do. I just use some vice grips or channel locks to bend the end out slightly. You can also spray some hair spray on the end before you slide the coupler on ;)
