just installed AFE Bladrunner turbo inlet and i was wondering if there was a easy way to tell if the clamp where the turbo meets the inlet is sealed correctly. i have a littly more noise from turbo and i think it is on good but it is hard to say i just want to make sure i cant really see the bottom side...

not sure about whether you are all sealed but i know that with my aftermarket intake my turbo whistle is much more pronounced.

Yes the more whistle is normal. I installed mine not to long ago and wondered the same thing. I left my clamp nice and loose and placed the MP in place and just made sure nothing was in the way (wires, hoses, etc.) Placing both flanges together I pulled the clamp up and tried to set the bottom in first and then tightened. I guess thats the best way to explain it. That whistle is sweet! Those 2 fins on the inside must help spin the air!
