    Tbolt clamp or 2 worm clamps.

    Hairspray the inside before clamping down as well. That shit will never move...

    make sure the bottom of the tbb is on all the way and the clamp doesnt slide off the underside of the throttle body that might help i had to adjust my clamp a couple times because that was happening when i first installed it and its never came off

    the bottom seems to be good, but the top looks as if its not all the way on, prob just going to take it off and start from scratch

    thanks all

    Can we assume this is an aftermarket boot? Do as others and yourself have said, just start over, get it clamped down good. I shreded a samco boot a while ago because the clamp wasn't seated well. It's useless now..
