intercooler issues

Hey guys I pulled my intercooler yesterday and discovered a one inch tear in one of the tubes. Any ideas for repair? Thinking of jb weld or devcon. Is there any worry about the repair blocking the tube ? Thanks in advance.

Buy a new boot, duct tape or JB weld will not work for long.

If you don't want to spend the $ on a brand new one, PM and I can send you out a used spare.

I should have been more specific. The hole is actually in the intercooler itself not in the charge piping or boots.

Get a new/good used intercooler, I've tried fixing them temporarily before with JB weld and the like but they all blow out on the first good pull making boost.
