Need better T-bolts. Spring loaded? "Constant-Torque"? Ive had the worst luck with T-bolts lately and need to find a more heavy duty set. The main issue is the 90* steel elbow blowing off the TB. The first clamp bent and broke off its rivets. The second wont tighten all the way. Third stripped right off the threads.
Do the spring loaded ones work better? What about the constant torque ones?
btw off topic...do the tial BOVs need to be oiled or lubricated?

ebay, summit, silicone websites...
Maybe theres just a better company i could go with. Are the NAPA ones better? The TRT ones that I have look like a grade 8 equivalent and look like much better quality than the others (theyve also held up much better). I was just curious if the other types (spring, ect) were worth checkin into.

you have one vacuum line going to the bov or two?
the only time my stuff was blowing apart was when my bov was not working (or not working correctly)
i have some regular worm gear hose clamps holding some of my stuff together on the cold side.

The napa clamps help close to 40psi on my evo from a 67mm turbo while 2 e-bay clamps would pop off at stock boost when it was put back to stock.

What do you mean 2 vac lines? I have a tial 50mm and its connected to a vac block (mcmaster carr) unit off the brake booster. Single 1/4" line to the top of the BOV. Should it be connected differently?

some bov's like my godzilla for instance.. have two lines going to them for faster response.. one from before the tb, and one from after to go above, and below the diaphagm
