Default Bracing misc. engine components

When I began to mod my car seriously numerous people told me that I should zip tie all my vacuum tubes and tighten any bolts/clamps to the tightest without break them. This I have done. Yet anytime I open up the throttle something breaks or falls off. Previously I had a common problem with the wastegate nuts blowing off, therefore moving the wastegate out of place and dumping all exhaust into the engine bay. Last night I had a number of problems go wrong. The upper rubber mount on my strut fell off (noooo idea how), something happened to my vacuum lines that makes my RFL squeal instead of the normal gush of air, and the one that amazes me...I blew the air filter off of the rubber connector. The rubber seal is still around the turbo inlet, alot with the clamp around it. The filter itself somehow disconnected itself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
