Can you gurus look at this and tell how bad the leak is? Its at 20psi and doesn't leak more when brought up to 35-40psi. Thanks in advance.

if thats all you get at 20psi--doesnt look bad. Do yourself a favor and get a hose clamp that fits or a good band clamp for turbo hoses so you dont have that problem.

yeah, its not TOO bad but imo any leak is bad so just remove, clean, replace, and make sure you have a good clamp.

Great! Thanks guys. I'll grab a constant-torque clamp and see how it goes.

After different clamps and stuff, found this little hole at the flange. That's turboxs for you.
