NAPA would havethe clamps.
Sorry to hear that you dented your hood. These type of clamps, T-bold clamps, will help keep that from happening again. Your sizes may vary.

any diesel repair shop will have clamps, too.
dent
I simply had the clamp at the throttle body blow off at about 26psi and it had enough pressure to go thru the insulation and dent the hood. Everyone thought that the engine was blown, I didn't have a clue either. New t bolt clamps were ordered the next day for everything.

Get better hoses if still using stock. They are 3x thicker & stonger.
X2 on the degrease!!! Lube may help them slip on, but it also assists with slipping off too.

When it comes to clamps, I'm a bigger fan of the Constant-Torque (CT) type. I got mine from the local NAPA; price wasn't too terrible. I think I paid $30 for all 6. Pretty comparable with what I've seen for T-bolts.
A lot of people I know use this site as well: Spring Loaded T-Bolt Clamps, Constant Torque Clamps, Liner Clamps, Turbo & Intercooler Clamps, Silicone Hose Clamps

And add a drop of superglue when putting the vacuum lines on

I would say check your ignition module, spark plug gap, and wires. If all those are good I would then check your cam sensor. What plugs are you using and what are they gapped at? How much boost?
Plugs r ac r24ts gap is 32 wires ok , when i blew the inlet to dog house boost was about 18, the other day when it backfired boost was 12
ps Kieth,if you r reading this I just finished with my powermaster to hydroboost brake changeover.works good except the rod that hooks up to brake pedal that came with the new hydroboost was too long i had to get a short one ok now

You better check that your fuel pressure is rising lb. for lb. with boost.... sounds like it's not, and it's going lean, causing the backfire... the next 'bang' could very well be the head gaskets shooting out the side of the block.... or worse....
You will need to hook a fp gage to the rail with an extension hose so you can temporarily tape it to the windshield where you can see it while driving. FP should rise above base setting (vac line off regulator) EXACTLY 1 psi for every psi of boost..... ie, with 43 psi base setting, at 18 psi boost, fp should equal 43 + 18 = 61 psi.... a failing fuel pump will cause the fp to start to rise as you build boost, and then the fp will plummet as boost (and fuel demand) increases.... if fp is behaving properly, the next most likely suspect is a failing coil pack.... been there, done that....:wink:

I would test your coil pack then and reset your cam sensor. I had an issue with my cam sensor once that was causing the same problem and I went threw all kinds of plugs and a couple modules before trying the cam sensor.

also, plug gap should be a tight 0.030"...
