You might be better posting this in the International rescue section - and having a look on the LZIR map to see if someone can help...

Good luck.

quite early .. can hear mine from about 1200 rpm .. ( straight-thru e.backbox )
( can also see the psi produced via a dash gauge .. a scangauge.II )
the pressure it produces is mainly dependant on the amount of exhaust gas flow
i.e. foot on go-pedal
cruising on the flat at 60mph gives about 4psi pressure ( above ambient ) in the intercooler hoses ..
( i.e aprox 18 psi in total ) .. climbing a hill at the same rpm with more pressure
on the go-pedal will increases boost pressure ..
maybe you could get away with it by cleaning the hose .. and wrapping it with some strong tape
and being lightweight on the go pedal ..

take the hose off and wrap a tin can around it tight with some jubilee clips?

A Freelander turbo doesn't "cut in" it's active all the time. It produces considerably more boost above about 1200Rpm. As a temporary measure, wrap the split pipe in lots of duct tape to seal it. As MHM said, a split tin can can be used as reinforcement along with the tape.
