PS side turbo inlet leaking

[Dragginz]

Howdy folks! So, after struggling to find a massive vacuum leak for a bit today, I managed to discover (after pulling my charge pipes) that the turbo inlet pipe is leaking, and badly at that. (I had the entire intake system charged at ~10psi). A local mechanic and I had the engine out replacing manifolds and all that jazz - I bought nice new inlet gaskets, mechanic added a bit of "Right Stuff, black" to help ensure a good seal on the inlet->turbo pipes, but despite this... well, leak, of course. What I'm trying to figure out is, is it possible / feasible to remove the inlet pipe without pulling the engine to try and re-seal it, or should I just plan on pulling the engine again? The second bolt I need to get to SEEMS to be somewhat inaccessible, but any tricks you guys know of to get around that?

(For reference on space constraints: MSP manis, 2530's for turbos, stock heat shields installed )

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated

I have SS manis and 2530s as well, the inlet is removable from the car without pulling the engine, it requires a s*** of cursing, about 8 busted knuckles and a lot of elbow grease. Get as much out of your way as you can before attempting.

Just my $.02:

You should never have to use sealant on a hose that is held on with a clamp. If you do, it's because the hose is bad, and you're only temporarily "fixing" the issue.
