Default something that can hold pressure?

i have a small piece of flex pipe running from the turbo to the intercooler, and it seems to leak like a biotch, i can get full boost. i was wondering if there is anything that i can wrap around the small section of flex pipe to stop the leaking?
thanks

Duct tape.


Hell, you can't get much more ghetto than flex pipe as IC pipe.


You can buy Duct tape in black now, it would look a little less ghetto.

You can just go to Napa and buy some rad hose, they make it up to 2.5" and its only like $2/foot and its guaranteed not to leak

Id go that route if I was going cheap n easy
