Charge Pipe issues

Well it seems under heavy boost the silicone connecter on my charge pipe always pops off. I was considering getting t-bolt clamps so get a stronger grip.... will this help also where do you recommend getting the clamps, not hardware or auto parts store by me carries them? Also if anyone else is having the same issue how did you resolve it? Thanks for you help

Coupler at the elbow correct? T-bolt clasps are a must and can be purchased thru ER.
