Boost Leak

I have been trying to track down a boost leak. When I pressure up the system from the intake on the turbo, It was leaking from the bolts let you clock the intake housing on the turbo. I guess I should of checked it when I put it on. They were not real loose but they weren't tight. I tighten them and am still getting a little bit of air passing. Is there an oring in there that seals it? I got them as tight as I could and the air that's leaking now is significantly less but I am still only making the same boost maybe 1psi more. So I am not sure if this is even my leak.

Well I called BD and they were quite helpful. I never really thought about it but obviously the turbo gets way to hot to have any sort of rubber oring. I just need to put some thread sealant on each bolt to stop the air leaks.
