Rb25 Boost Leak

[Rbvl]

Hi I am pretty sure I have a bad boost leak I blew an intercooler pipe off hitting 15 psi in second gear I then put the hose clamp back on the rubber fitting and tightened nice and firm and ever since then it has only made about 1 psi of boost, u can't really hear the boost leak in the car but when idling with the bonnet open you can hear it sucking while the engine is under vaccume it sounds like its coming from the inlet manifold around the far right hand side would I be right in thinking that it could be the inlet manifold gasket it seems to have a thicker gasket than usual its about 3 mm thick or is that normal ?

Cheers

yes the plenum gasket is about 3mm thick, after constant issues im fitting a cosmetic gasket recommended by KudosMotorsport, im quietly confident it will solve the issue. Apparently this is a common issue when running high boost, mine was sounding like a cat Meowing under boost.
