Turner Motorsport boost pipe leaks

A couple of days ago I had the new Turner Motorsport boost pipe installed on my 228i alongside a VRSF 5" intercooler. The car ran fine but then I flashed BM3 Stage 1 to the car. It drove and pulled fine in Comfort mode and Eco Pro but after some trial runs in Sport and Sport+ the clamps began to pop off, the first being the intercooler side.

After tightening that down, I drove the car again and noticed that the turbo side began to come loose after some more trial runs in Sport and Sport+. I tried tightening that down but to no avail. Intercooler clamp stayed on, though.

Anybody else running this pipe? I'd like some pointers on how to get this thing to stay on properly.

UPDATE: 1/4/2022 - Looks like the clamp was simply too big. If you happen to purchase this pipe, you'll need to run something a tad bit smaller. I'll update this should any problems arise.

Turns out the clamp provided in their kit is simply too big. Had to use something smaller. Don't know the exact size as it was found lying around in my garage. The clamp giving me the problem was the turbo connection.
