I use factory piping... There's a difference between not blowing off, and not leaking...

get t-bolts.

just take pliers and make the end of the charge pipe a little bigger, like a bell end (nothing way over the top, just somthing that will prevent the clamp from coming off)

Never heard of hairspray, but hair gel works great.

eliminating as many as possible is what I would do. You should only have 4 couplers if possible. Other than that, clean pipes, silicone couplers, and t-bolt clamps should be good to go.

just use t bolt clamps and you will be fine. unless you are using a gt42 at 50 psi you should have no issues.
I am running fairly big turbo at 23 psi full throttle no blown couplers. just get the clamps

A td04??? You mean 2 td04's right??? 15g's ?

I've always used hairgel, seems to work better than hairspray.

If your using t-bolts and hairgel with a bead on the pipe,or rolled lip, and still blowing pipes off, then you have a serious problem. If I got to that point and was STILL blowing pipes off, I might consider if my bov was functioning properly, or if I had it set too stiff, or if my bov line wasnt going straight to the intake manifold.....
