Anyone else with high boost have this issue? I jumped on the car wide open for the first time since the clutch was installed and WOW, what a difference without a slipping clutch.. amazing! I can't wait to see my real HP on the dyno. Anyway, now I am blowing my vacuum lines off my throttle body under max boost. Do most of you wire tie them? Or, is there another method?

Common. Use zip ties or clamps.
