Yesterday I did a soapy water test on the two ends of it, takes a minute for it to get hot enough to boil the water away instantly.

I have small leaks on both ends. The turbo side can be helped by the gasket, not sure about the flare portion. I had a thought to put maybe 16 gauge solid copper wire in a loop around it and see if it would compress down to make a seal.
Check your vin...

That isn't the factory delete...

Yours may be qualified for a cast iron factory delete and turbo free replacement!

Check with a dealer...
