5th gear and under boost, pissing me off cos i have to pull over
each time and bolt hose clamp back on.

On the metal pipe is there a ridge on the end running around, or is it straight pipe?

Exactly where is the hose blowing off from? Does where the hose slip over have a lip on it to help the clamp keep the hose in position?
What type of clamp on the hose are you using? Is it a proper "Tee" clamp rather than the standard worm drive type?

What diameter is the pipe? If it's 2.5" (64mm) diameter or larger and not too thick I've got a bead roller at work that will roll a lip in the tube.
I've rolled lips on 3" stainless steel tubing 1.6mm thick for some of the turbo guys.
Alternatively, I can Tig weld a lip around the tube if it's needed.
My work is in Carrum Downs, let me know if you need it done.
