Default Forge Inlet intake tube slips off continuously

I have a Forge Motorsport Inlet tube for my stock K03 turbo on my 02 Audi A4. The problem im having is that the tube slips off the very tiny stub on the intake side of the compressor. As you can see from the pictures below there is very little room for the clamp to be clamped on and every time i tighten the clamp it slips right off, and I then have to un-loosen the clamp and re-tighten it again and over a few mins I finally can get it on again but after a few days, it would have slipped right off again.

The car runs because it does not slip off all the way but it slips off enough to cause my car to sometimes stutter when im on the autocross track. Im wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if anyone could help me find a solution to get this inlet to stay on the turbo without it slipping off. I have emailed Forge Motorsports but their having a hard time figuring out a way to help me, so i decided to just post here and see if anything could give me some ideas.

Thanks

Sounds like you have too much engine movement.


Have you tried using some sand paper on the surface of the turbo inlet and the inside of the hose?
