IC Piping blowing off TB?

Pulled transmission two weeks ago which included dropping some exhaust.

Put it all back together and car now blows the IC piping off the throttle body after 2-3 good pulls.

Tried replacing the clamps and cleaning the piping!

any ideas plz

Take the coupling off and spray hair spray on the coupler and the piping. Also throw some t-bolt clamps for good measure.

T- bolts FTW, 30 psi here and no thundering pops under boost

^^ T-bolt clamps are the way to go! 25 psi here and no problems.

I do have a video of me blowing a pipe at 25psi with wormgears at the drag strip and everyone in the stands jumped up like "Whoa!" thinking I blew my engine. It was very loud

hairspray FTW, but honestly a good intercooler pipe kit is key, I remember my injen licp used to pop off all of the time even with hair spray and t-bolt clamps. I have never had my ETS LICP pop off and I have since increased my boost and the turbo spools up faster than before
