Default Blowing hoses

Has anyone else had problems blowing up hoses? I keep blowing my hoses apart. First the one right after the supercharger, now the one right after that. Whoever made my kit (hint hint) must have used cheap *** hoses. No real purpose to this post, im just frusterated. Does anyone know where I can get boost hoses for cheap? I need a 3" 90 degree angle

on your hard pipes......take an adjustable wrench and bend the lips out a little bit. That will help the hoses grab to something when you tighten down the hoseclamps
