I tightened down all the clamps the day after I got the car and again at 1500 miles when the bumper was off (headlight swap). I used a ratchet and tightened them down as tight as I could. I have been boosting 21psi max and haven't blown one off yet. I think Ill recheck tonight after work.

What size T-Bo0lt clamps are you guys using? anything I should know?

While you're at it, you might as well try tightening the bolts for the turbo outlet elbow. The best thing to do is to do an intake leak check. You should be able to hear all leaks audibly.

Read this thread for some info about building an intake leak tester.

I had this same issue, best to make sure you use a socket and tighten things while the rubber is hot. If you don't do this it can loosen up considerably when the car heats up and they can keep popping off...

I would also clean the inside of the coupling and the outside of the elbow very well before reclamping could be some junk in there making it slide off.
