Do you need to clamp/ziptie the hose that connects the two DVs?

Or will just putting the hose on work fine?

why? Because my boost seems to have dropped (2-3 psi) after replacing the hose, but without any clamps or zipties. I'm probably answering my own question, but just wanted confirmation one way or another.

Zip ties work fine.

I'd suggest securing all hoses regardless of how tight they fit.

Vote to clamp. The BPVs see boost pressure from the mani.
