This is what we use on our frac pumps to keep 5" coolant hoses from blowing off. They see about 100 - 135psi.
Simple and they work. It's just aircraft cable. You can get the coated plastic stuff that doesn't rust too!

Not to sure how you could connect it to the turbo? But a little thinking and Im sure we could figure something

You could get the alum one and tig it to the end of the outlet using helium gas in the tig doesnt cause lots of heat during welding and being so small wouldnt take long to weld.

One thing to consider... Tig welding frequencys! They will fry the electronics on our race cars. I bet they'll hurt the electronis on our trucks too! And i would be really heasitant to fasten it with a fastener on the inside, if for some reson it worked loose it would be a catastrophy! The pipes an I/C are easy enough to remove to weld them. For the turbo and intake, you could weld the steel boss to a heavy duty steel clamp (t-bolt, exhaust clamp, etc.) and slid it on past the cast flange the hose stops against and tighten it down. No way it will pull past that. Just an idea! BTW thoes are nice hose braces!

FWIW, I have tig welded on my truck in several places including but not limited to the trans pan (while fluid was in it), the ic pipe, and the exhaust. I would use argon also, helium tends to get too hot, I only work on thicker or special pieces with helium. To weld on the ic pipe you need to be in AC with argon for a perfect bead. Of course this is assuming you use GTAW.
