Default blowing intercooler boot

I have a 2001 HO with edge programer and keep blowing intercooler boot when towing, my boost gets to almost 35 psi. what are you guys doing to fix problem? i think new better boots, where is best place to get? and do i need new clamps. It sucks to be pulling 20k up steep narow hill and loose all power

I blew a few off when I started hitting 50psi with my 66, but alot of people hit 35 without issue. I switched to the t-bolts with the spring and haven't had any problems since... napa had them in stock.

We sale tons of the vulcan boot kits. They will hold 100+psi.

Hairspray

take it apart and clean it all up and apply hairspray before reassembly
