Suction hose on Procharger

I am having trouble with my suction hose collapsing on my Procharger suction side. This is on a Vette, where it comes off the blower is a soft hose then a curved pipe then filter. I have been trying to shorten the hose to maybe stop it some but the way the charger sets lower than the radiater there doesnt seem to be anyway. This part of the kit is very cheesy for what it is. Anyone know a way around this.
Thanks DG

Maybe getting a thicker silicone coupler will help no problems with mine.

Does it look like this? We are running this 740 rwhp C5 at 16 psi, with no problems. Here is a link to it. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=40 Bob

No it has a flemsy rubber hose between the piping and the blower. It is all kinked up and calapses under boost. I dont know how it held up to dyno it but it made 700 rwhp and 630 rwtq at 12.5 #.
