I'm not convinced those would actually leak. I mean the clamp is over that part of the TBB
and it rests on the plastic bipipe. I would guess that's why you are still having issues. Either way, you might want to have your service department put that on record. A failed TBB can lead to turbo failures, if not now, possibly down the line.

Four rings? Here you go. (Tyrone content, too.)

I asked myself that also...
After looking at that area, and the areas where the clamp is actually compressing the rubber (shiny areas - which is surprisingly small), I saw a neat path for my beloved boost to exit, once the failure is started by an over-compression split. I am sure in some cases a tear under the clamp would not leak. I also think, in this case, the completed "hole" through the boot was done by pressure. My ears say it's so...
