Intercooler hose torq

I just had my turbo replaced at dealer. When I got home it looked like it has slipped back away from the turbo about quarter inch. I loosened up the clamp and retightened it. I went past where they had it torqued to about 3 turns of the nut. I guess this is normal with heating and cooling the first few times you drive it? I felt and I had LOTS more room to go before it blew off upt wanted to snug it back up flush to the turbo. Thanks!

Good idea to re-torque the clamps after a few run in cycles. Had to do the same with the boost couple when I changed out the air horn at the intake manifold.
