WRX intercooler hoses wont stay on!

Does anyone else have a problem with Samco hoses "slipping" off of the turbo
outlet? This is very irritating when you have to pull over in the rain and
reposition a stupid clamp every other day.

i've had samcos for 20k+ miles and i've never had this happen.

what kind of hose clamps are you using? tell me not the stock clamps...

No, not the stock clamps. Ive tried everything brand from cheap to Ideal
clamps. Its my belief that the hose is simply not fitting correctly for some
reason. I tried switching its position on the intercooler neck (its an sti
intercooler, doesnt use the "y" shaped hose), same prob. One guy even told me I
was running too much boost, I guess theres one in every forum. I think i'm just
going to find a 90 degree radiator hose and make my own hose :)

Have you checked the intercooler mounts to see if they are loose or
broken?
