Right back at ya with a nice build thread, I'll take the time to read through it after work.
I'm spiking well above 30 on my TDI and blowing silicons was becoming a total PITA. I took to sanding the inside of the silicon ( a bit just take the shine off with say 400 ), the metal where it attached ( sand around the silicon/fitting so that the grooves help the grip ), degrease with alcohol etc and used that black JB/Permatex oil resistant silicon to first glue the pipe in place with medium clamp tension, let it dry overnight then crank it down next day. I keep the silicon away from the junction best I can so that as little as possible extrudes into the inside, and you don't need much anyway. I have done every junction in my IC plumbing like this.
End of problem.
