I've just experienced exactly the same issue myself after cranking the boost up to 20psi

Do not cable tie your vacuum hoses... that is a temporary, half-arsed solution at best...

They are called cable ties for a reason; because that is what they are designed to do - not clamp hoses!

Get proper hose clamps or you will risk the same thing happening again :/

I had to look around before I found those spring hose clamps similar to the OEM ones; East Coast auto supplied what Autobarn and others could not.

(The other screw and bolt style clamps don't seem to come small enough for many of the vacuum hoses)

cable ties are fine for small vacuum hoses if placed properly. i use them on all my vacuum hoses and have never had one come off even with 25psi of boost and i have a lot of vacuum lines.

well my engine bay is now all bolt clamped, blue silicone hosed, and zip tied to the max.

Tested 18psi on it last night n all good.

Motor also seems perfectly fine so some momentary det didnt harm her :thumbsup:

I've read somewhere (maybe a tuner on here mentioned it), someone did a expensive buildup and got it tuned etc. Replaced all the rubber vacuum hoses with blue silicon (cheap or decent silicone i'm unsure).. well anyway the one on the fuel reg blew off and destroyed the engine.

Momentary det is almost harmless. Its the shit which rolls all the way to red line which causes damage, and its pre ignition which blows your motor.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
