i went and brought these for basically anything i can get them around... raditatior hoses, intercooler etc..

I wanna see one of these on the fpr boost line

I've just experienced exactly the same issue myself after cranking the boost up to 20psi

Do not cable tie your vacuum hoses... that is a temporary, half-arsed solution at best...

They are called cable ties for a reason; because that is what they are designed to do - not clamp hoses!

Get proper hose clamps or you will risk the same thing happening again :/

I had to look around before I found those spring hose clamps similar to the OEM ones; East Coast auto supplied what Autobarn and others could not.

(The other screw and bolt style clamps don't seem to come small enough for many of the vacuum hoses)

cable ties are fine for small vacuum hoses if placed properly. i use them on all my vacuum hoses and have never had one come off even with 25psi of boost and i have a lot of vacuum lines.

well my engine bay is now all bolt clamped, blue silicone hosed, and zip tied to the max.

Tested 18psi on it last night n all good.

Motor also seems perfectly fine so some momentary det didnt harm her :thumbsup:

I've read somewhere (maybe a tuner on here mentioned it), someone did a expensive buildup and got it tuned etc. Replaced all the rubber vacuum hoses with blue silicon (cheap or decent silicone i'm unsure).. well anyway the one on the fuel reg blew off and destroyed the engine.

Momentary det is almost harmless. Its the shit which rolls all the way to red line which causes damage, and its pre ignition which blows your motor.

yeah i got the high grade silicone hoses n that stuff goes on and holds twice as strong as any vacuum hose iv ever come across.

N just to be sure i have clamped or zip tied every one of the bastards anyways.

aint going nowhere now....
