Will about 10 psi cause the stock vaccuum lines on the bottom of the intake manifold to blow off? There are no barbs on them, and I am thinking that you'd be in constant jeopardy of blowing these relatively loose-fitting rubber lines off under boost!
Does this happen to you turbo guys or am I just being silly? I really want to know if I should replace these nipples with barbed fittings to retain the hoses!

Ive run 17psi, with no issures. Todds run 20psi+ with out fault yet. But thats not to say it wont happen. I wouldn't worry about, but you must be vigilent always with this stuff.
