UIC hose clamp keeps popping off

So this is the 4 time this happens to me the clamp that holds the hose on the TB keeps breaking I keep putting a new one and zip tie as well and it still breaks... Since I'm new to the evo world I guess is not a good idea to drive an evo boosting for more than 15 mins I was rushing to work this happen. The 4 times that happen I was boosting for more than 3 miles. Meaning I was driving over 4000rpm for 3 exits or 15 mins.. Is there any better hoses or clamps to upgrade this until I save enough to get my front mount and piping.thanks in advance.

Hair spray. Also, zipties are useless for holding on a charge pipe

T-bolt clamps and hair spray would be the best route to go

also, clean the throttle body and the uicp too. sometimes if there is oil residue it will keep popping off.

If your clamp is pooping, you got bigger problems.

Just use a good clamp, make sure the contact surface of the hose is free of oil. Use Simple Green or something to clean it. make sure you place the clamp behind the rolled bead. I can tell you how many times I've seen people place the camp, smack dab on top of the bead.
