Did my new turbo take a dump?

Also found some black boots that are much thicker and stiffer than the usual orange or blue ones.

What is the consensus on the best CAC boots/clamps? Does it really matter much on an engine like this compared to an Acert making 60+ psi boost?

I've never tried any boots other than the orange & blue ones, so I can't speak to that.
As far as the clamps go;
1)would more heavy duty clamps last longer, or be more durable?
2)would less chance of a failure be in your best interest?

If the answer to either of those is Yes, you pretty much answered your own question...says the guy who threw all those cheap crappy OEM clamps away after 90 days and has used nothing but good quality, much more heavy duty ones since...on all of his hoses, including rad hoses!


Now THATS what I call a rad hose clamp! My CAC clamps are the same type.
