You need to use T-bolt clamps. Regular clamps arent going to hold. The hairspray is simply spray it on and then clamp the boot on and when the hairspray becomes tacky it dries and basically glues the boot on.

T-bolts and hairspray...hairspray works just like it does on your hair...once dry it causes things to stick very well...

you could also use nitrile coupling found as napa as radiator hosing.
the stuff when heated comes so sticky it holds onto piping.
i used to run it on my honda and boosted 18 psi EVEN without a clamp on it!

to get it off you need to pry it off with a screwdriver

T-bolt clamps and hairspray will hold well over 30PSI. Before I sold my eclipse I was running near 32 PSI and never had a pipe blow off. If you are looking for good, cheap t-bolt clamps (and other parts) locally try siliconeintakes.com

which UICP do you have? is it aftermarket? if you're still with the stock one, i imagine its prolly all worn out from all that popping, reinstallation, hairspray etc. if its aftermarket, idk whats up.

i had the problem before. i used the right t bolt clamp on the stock hose and my sisters hairspray. it still blew off. then i went with ETS stock route UICP with the included hoses and clamps and the problem went away....

^ x2 ..like 40 bucks and a clamp to replace every crappy worm clamp on your car. I bought it. Worth it.

Yes, T-bolt clamps should solve your problem. I had the same issue with my aftermarket UICP
