I just installed new upper intercooler piping and a Greddy Type S Blow Off Valve, with a stock t25 turbo now pushing 15psi. Everything seems to be working perfect, except my intercooler piping and connectors apparently can't handle much pressure. I've blown the big pipe (with the BOV flange) out of the lower pipe connector twice (the blue one in between the fuse box and air filter, seen here - http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=26854).

I've tightened the clamp as tight as I can get it without it stripping, but it just doesn't seem to hold. Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to make the little blue hose hold onto that pipe at 15 psi?
