Default Blow-Off, Pop-off, Wastegate on a SC Engine

I'm having problems with my hoses from the SC and throttle body are being blown off when I close the throttle from high revs. Would it be a good idea to install a blow-off or pop-off or whatever you wanna call it, valve?
Those blow-off's are vacuum actuatet, so whenever I close the throttle there is a vacuum in the intake manifold which will open the blow-off and release the pressure from the SC so it won't push the hoses from the tubes, right?
So do you guy's think this will work, or is it just a bad idea?

I would take a look at Vortec race bypass valve or there Mondo bypass valve. I've used both and they are great bypass valves.

That's what I'm running as well. I love it.

Here's a little vid of it. It's not the best vid but you'll get the idea.

BlkHwk: thats awesome!
I'm bidding on a Tial BOV on ebay, hopefully I'll get it. There are not so many Brand BOV's available over here, on ebay you'll only find those cheap chinese things.
The Tial I'm bidding on is used, but the only Name Brand I found, if I don't get it I'm gonna order one in the states.

16540. About 15-20 miles north of Berlin. The only reason I was asking is if it is really expensive to get parts over there from the US I could have it shipped to a branch of my dads company over there and you could pick it up.

thanks for trying to help, but Berlin is about 800km away
even if I would go an average of 200kph on the Autobahn it would still take me 4hrs to get there
