Ive been having issues like boost, only get 20psi on my 04.5 Cummins. Made a DIY boost leak tester and found the boot coming from the turbo leaking all around it. Wanting a kit to replace them all. Is this something I can go cheap on or pay the price? They don’t seem much different but I’m sure they are.

The difference. I do know the bands are 10 to 15 each
My truck came with what appears to be the more expensive on it. No issues. That's my 2004.5

When it comes to rubber boots you get what you pay for. If these were both in stock and you felt the weight of one boot you would pick the heavier one as it will withstand the heat much better and last way longer. When it comes to certain parts it pays to buy quality.
