Sure you haven't missed a small split?

Just checked under the bonnet, when I rev the engine I am getting a puff of smoke from the top hose (at the turbo end), I replaced the jubilee clip and the problem still there. Can't see any sign of damage to alloy molding for pipe but as a molding it is not smooth.
Am thinking of using some tape inside the hose to try to seal the connection, but at worst it is only a small gap.
Will this cause a puff of black smoke from the exhaust on acceleration?
Oh and excuse my ignorance, what do you mean by delaminated? I have taken the hose off and given it a wash, there was a lot of oil gunk on it, to see if I can see any splits (I can't).

Delamination, is where the insides of the hose start to peel off. :)

The inside seems good, just need to clear the leak from the turbo end of the pipe then!
K9Jim:
is it easy to remove the inlet manifold to clean and is it possible to clean? when i last looked mine was gunged up. :(

Just replaced the hose, still plumes of smoke coming from somewhere. A closer inspection showed it coming from the exhaust manifold, so this needs to come off and probably a new gasket fitted.
