Which turbo pipe is this?

Anyone know what pipe this is? Its connected to one of the turbos. I tried pushing it in but it just slides back out. Not sure if there is suppose to be a clamp there or not. If someone knows or have this part # please let me know. Thanks

Thats your turbo inlet pipe. Which connects to factory air box. They tend to slip off a lot... poor design IMO.

The gasket deforms under extreme heat and I surmise it is the cause of the turbo siren noises many of us have.

Swapped those gaskets when I threw on the RBs and all better.

There is no clamp for that tube or gasket.
