Default Boost leaks and samco tbb q's

Finally got around to pressure testing the system today and found quite a few leaks. Surprise, surprise.

I have two leaks at the y-pipe where it goes into the rubber hose that branchs off to the bpv and turbo inlets. I still have the factory pinch clamps there and need to switch to t-bar or worm clamps. Anyone know what sizes I need? The bottom one looks smaller than the top one...

Also found I had a leak in my samco tbb where that sensor mounts in the top. If I take out the two allen head screws holding the bracket in, the leak goes away. Will I blow that sensor out of the tbb without the screws? I'm uncertain, I pressure tested to 15psi and it was holding, but I wanna make sure. Is this a typical problem with the samco tbb? The screws torque the bracket over and pull the sensor up out of the tbb...

Don't know about the tbb, but the leaks before the turbo aren't the end of the world...
