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)

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

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

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.....
