No guys. Worm drive will work fine under higher pressure ..... there are an awful lot of ships out there that have them on seacocks 30 feet underwater. That is 15 psi, constant duty. And failure is much more significant than a damn turbo hose blowing off.
When you step up to a better fitting you go swagged. Look through an Aeroquip catalog.
You must have a problem with an oil coated terminal and bad hose end if you are blowing off the clamps we are talking about. Which I don't think you are anyway.

Clamps have a T-bolt and locknut for easy, secure installation, and a welded bridge for strength, durability, and equalized clamping pressure. Use these clamps on all kinds of hose, tube, duct, and sleeves.
Band is 300 series stainless steel and is 3/4" wide and 1/32" thick. The T-bolt and locknut are zinc-plated steel. Tighten with a 7/16" hex nutdriver. Torque is 90 in.-lbs.

A ton Alex. Plus you need the equipment to swag on the terminal. Which is a bigger ton of cash.
These types of connectors are the kind you see on submarines and will hold up to 1000's of pounds of pressure. Heck, my SCUBA air compressor will take 5000 PSI.
You don't need to go this far. Just get the smooth worm drive clamps.

OK, these are T-bolt clamps sized for intercooler lines, not fuel, vaccume, coolant. I'm talking IC, turbo, intake. The system will surge under normal conditions, especially when boosted. Ask a few folks about their worm clamps blowing and how quickly they went to a T-bolt clamps. I'll be running the T-bolt clamps, noone else has to, I was just trying to help. I will be running T-bolts, and I won't be worried about blowing a line at any boost pressure. BTW, I broke 3 worm clamps, all new german(from the dealer)trying to get them a tight as needed. I cleaned the fittings on both sides, tightened them up till they felt good. I could still spin them, went tighter and they popped apart.
