you can zip tie vac lines with a good tie, they don't see positive pressure so they shouldn't pop off which is why you'd use a clamp to hold on a pressurized line.
thats just a normal hks valve on a protege. They cant react fast enough on our cars for some reason. Only way i ever got mine to fully open and completely eliminate flutter was to drill a tiny hole between the 2 chambers so it would equalize the pressure faster and open the valve with out any surge/flutter.
Maybe runninv dual valve would help things
Turn your car on and multimeter to some ground location will tell you polarity
