Put a small wire tie on it and pull it down tight, simple fix.

If you are talking about the OEM PCV system, you need to get rid of that setup and run a catch can with a breather. Any line that was a vacuum line from the factory is going to be pressurized in boost. And you don't want to be adding 10psi of boost to your crankcase.

what I have been using is the plastic lines they sell, might be for air brakes or something, but they have the fittings in 1/16 or 1/8 pipe fittings
you cut to fit, just push the line in the fitting
I think Procharger gives them to you in their kits
if its a pressed in fitting, then you cant use them
also if you can fing a barb fitting, they hold twice as good as the reg. hose ends
