Default amal valve problem

Just wondering how you guys have you amal valves plumbed in

Mine keeps popping off, 2.5 bar boost is fast!!!

I still have the original turbo and amal valve pipe, which is that stitched looking stuff, that goes onto plastic pipe, to the valve which also has the stitched piping.

This keeps blowing off at the amal valve end, even with the clamps or tie wraps.

Can I use silicon, of so, what size and how do I stop it hanging

Cheers

use fuel hose from your local motor factors, 8mm Internal Diameter i think, this stuff is very strong and should clamp on better when you use some small jubilee clips
