Question intake manifold hose, need help!!!!

I was driving on the highway, hit 5th gear and got on the gas. My boost gauge went to 20psi then boom!!! the hose connecting to the intake manifold got blown loose. Is there a way to secure the hose to the intake manifold without having it get blown loose again? Please help!!!!

Also, I have a manuel boost controller and its a B*#%^ to use, whats a good digital boost controller thats not too expansive? and how much should I boost for everyday driving?
Please Help!!!!

I would recommend a manual over a electronic. No need for all that complexity. The best is the Buschur unit, see link below. Get rid of the factory clamp and install T Bolt clamps available at your local Napa, part #'s below.

Yeah, I second the T-bolt style and a manual boost controller.
