From what it looks like, the clamp might still have room to tighten.
OP,
You can get the tool from any hardware store, and try to re-tighten. If that doesn't help, you can use worm clamps and redo them.

Get rid of those *****ty clamps man! They leak! Take it back to the SAME shop where the work was done. If you jump shops and something goes really wrong, who you gonna try to blame? Don't do that. If you can't go back, find a reputable shop and have them change the clamps out and inspect all the work YOU got charged for. "Inspect what you expect". Tell me... you can "see" what was done wrong, correct 9 (the pics)? Any chance there might be some shoddy work somewhere else that you can't see? Are all those bolts/nuts that you can't see torqued correctly? Everything else replaced properly. Hummmm.....
I'm not trying to be mean. Truly, I'm not. Go back and make them make it right. It's your car and your money. Get 'er done.

Clamps
I’ve changed a couple of set of these turbos and I never had to take off any off the cooling line clamps, everything (both oil and coolant) have o ring seals so are easily removable. I’m not sure what they were trying to achieve by separating the line at this point

I am considered installing Pure 900 Turbos. The problems I seen are installation related. Speaking on the reliability of the Pure 900 Turbos, is the reliability good?
I am not looking for a maximum power tune, I just want to run on pump gas (tuned for 91), no meth injection and keep the stock exhaust (DP).
I want the car to be reliable for daily use but with some more kick, just because. Is it realistic to think that after installing the Pure 900 Turbos I'd still have a reliable car?

100% will be reliable with pure 900 turbos in my experience. Had them since 20k & now im at 60k miles. Multiple 2k miles road trips of hard driving. The most important thing is maintenance and upgrading your heat exchanger. I change oil and filter every 5k miles. Spark plugs every 5k miles, I use ngk one step colder plugs. Coils every 10k miles. Coolant flush once a year before summer.
I hadn't thought about upgrading the heat exchanger.
I spent $700 on new coils from MB Star Parts.
NGK Iridium plugs are $150 from NAPA.
One step colder plugs from NGK don't exist. Except for racing plugs. Stock plugs are heat index 8, one step colder would be a 9.
NGK 93253 R2556G-9 Racing Plug
I inquired regarding the use of this plug in M177 but didn't receive a positive response.
HKS has a NGK heat index 9 spark plug for GTR, which apparently fits M177. That is second hand information, give a try on google and see what you find, I have no experience with HKS myself.
Hearing one step colder plugs from NGK sets off my B.S. detector.

Also, it is *never* a bad idea to change out the oil in the car to fresh oil after the initial break in on the car with new turbos. A high performance motor is put under a LOT more stress than a mom and pop sedan driving the kids to swim practice, before band camp, etc..
Pic below of the product I like to use. It's good stuff. Good luck.
