I had the same thing happen. Reinstalled with a small worm gear hose clamp. It hasn't popped off since.
After reading thru this its likely CAT related. I have to use the CATs I did the initial testing with so crossing my finger that all goes ok:

EGR hose blows off - plugged catalytic convertors?

It is just anytime you have excessive back pressure. Could be the Cats but you will also have a little more back pressure on any turbo vehicle since the exhaust turbine is a restriction, but I wouldn't think it would be too bad considering the turbo size and low boost. It is possible it is a stacking, effect.
I had that hose blow off when the catalyst inside my front cat broke and turned sideways, blocking the exhaust.
Very strange. I had one of the first turbos on the street. Was never an issue I had to deal with. My cats have 240,000 miles on them. This will be interesting to hear more of.
I replaced all my vacuumed lines 6 months ago with my head rebuild, so it can’t be old lines that are petrified in place over many decades.

Will this work with a 94? The site only says 95 through 97. Also does thisncome with a tune?
Read. even the first few pages.
No and no. works on OBDII Trucks 95+ and uses stock ECU with low boost (7psi).
Updates required.......... Next round shipping?
Spent some time over at the pipe shop yesterday. I was going to strong arm them into giving me the J-Pipes so I can get these borders out. No luck. They won’t be ready til early next week. But...I was able to pick up three boxes worth of downpipes.
So, I’ve decided that I’m going to start shipping out partial kits starting on fri/sat to get a leg up on turbo orders. The next 12 or so orders will go out (well 2 out of 3 boxes anyway) and the remaining J-pipe box will go out after next weekend because I will be in SF for a few days next week.
oh and BTW, if you are considering the downpipe blanket, order up because the order is going in tomorrow morning.

@NLXTACY any guesstimate as to how long it will take for the blankets to get produced?
they say 2-3 weeks. I’m pushing for soon as possible.
Ordered a blanket 
One blanket for me as well please
Think you gotta to on the site and pre-order
Correctomundo, Joey has managed to take more of my monies..... Foiled once again
