^^ from what I remember when I did my IC piping to that piece it was one.... But didn't see far enough down.. On the diagram there's a black piece.. I don't remember that.. Flex section?

But i believe that charge pipe bolts to the compressor housing.. Either that or it's a vband clamp.. it might be loose at the point...?
What makes you think you have a boost leak there?

oil leaking there and a whistling sound on boost. The inlet tube is sitting about 1.5 mm off the face of the turbo.

I need to know if that tube can be removed and replaced without lifting the engine. SA is telling me that they need to tilt the engine to do it the right way. I need to know if I can slide that tube down behind the engine and fasten the tube with a new oring gasket by just sliding it over the turbo mouth. I don't see any hardware to tighten, no clamps or bolts, just the rubber o-ring that appears the bight down on the turbo mouth somehow.

If a tech could chime in.... can it be done?

I know I would need to remove the downpipes to access the turbo from underneath. I can do that. Just need to know if that pipe will fit if I try to slide it in from the top before I go yanking the old one off.
