Piping from turbo to the tmic

this is a question for anyone running a RS-T (not a sti or wrx swap) does anyone elses hose leak air pressure when they try to turn the boost up past 7psi? Im speaking of the hose that runs from the turbo to the intercooler y pipe. anytime i try to turn the boost up (at the track!) it will not handle the boost pressure and it leaks it out where the clamps are.

It should not leak if it is a proper pipe and is tightened good and has no holes in it. No pipe leak is ever "normal".
