Question Not sure that i understand

99 a4 1.8tq 5sp aeb


the other day i coming around a bend in the road that lead to a straight away. So i deceided to punch it,(like any normal human would do) hit 1 bar boost then POP ! My car starts to idle all out of wack, press the gas and nothing happens. just a struggle to move. then she dies right smack in the middle of an intersection.
sure enough a cop shows up while im trying to call my wife for triple A number and what do you know she doesnt answer, any OTHER time she picks up. i call the tow company tell to bring a flat bed. i still havent looked under the hood, cop wont let me get out till the tow truck comes. the tow truck comes. tow it to a parking lot (3 miles away) 61 dollars later i pop the hood, here the hose from the intercooler to the throtlebody came off at the throtlebody . put the hose back on tighten the clamp. i start the car, all is gooooood, couple of revs and i pull away. driving watching my boost gauge ,hit boost did it again. pull over (more like coast over) call a buddy he brings me a new clamp put it on didnt have a problem for ohhhh 2 weeks.
till tonight same thing, lucky me i had a spare this time and i didnt die in the middle of a intersection

so what i dont understand is why is the happening, and what causes this to happen? any nowledge whould be great thanks

Is this the stock hose and stock SMIC or are you running a different pipe to the TB?

You might want to check to see if there is any oil on the hose that might be causing it to pop off.

Might want to try cleaning that and then see if it stays on.
