Recently installed new GFB adjustable BOV's and a K&N intake into my stinger. Everything with the install went well, but I made the mistake of not loosening my BOV springs enough which led to the rubber hose connecting into my intercooler to burst while I was highway driving removing all boost from the car. It wasn't a huge deal as I had another pipe on hand and discovered the issue pretty quickly, but even after loosening the springs I'm still seeing some expansion in the pipe when at high boost. The hose I am referencing is the one connecting to the joint circled in the photo below , I do not know which one from the diagram either 11 or 9. I'm interested if anyone else has experienced this issue before and if I should be concerned about blowing another hose.

It should be 9. That goes from the merge pipe towards the intercooler. 8 is the hard pipe to get across the engine bay to the driver's side (US orientation), 6 makes the turn into the intercooler inlet. 11 is the output from the driver side turbo going into the merge pipe.
Most likely.
How high is the pressure when that happens? I don't know what the limits of that particular tube are, but you don't want huge spikes when the throttle closes because that's extremely hard on the turbos.
 
those hoses are super robust
if you are blowing them you have totally out of control spikes that you need to address stat

It's not the hoses it's the clamp, put a new one on mine today
