Turbo Make Confusion - Garrett or Mitsubishi? 700 1989

According to Bill's Volvo Information Page (http://billgarland.mcmaster.ca/volvo/volvohome.htm) my '89 740 Turbo Wagon has a Garrett T3 intercooled turbo. I am looking for a replacement of my AMM to Turbo hose - it leaks right where the hose to the breather nipple connects to it. I want to make sure I am buying the right hose, since these guys are so expensive. So I was looking at Importec's Online catalog (http://www.importeccatalog.com/) where they list hoses for both Mitsubishi as well as Garrett turbos. The point where I get confused is where the picture for the Mitsubishi turbo looks just like mine, while the Garrett turbo hose has, what seems like a large plastic piece inserted into the rubber where the breather hose attaches. Is this just the way this specific manufacturer makes the Garrett hose, or is this standard OEM practice? Do I indeed have a Garrett turbo like Bill claims?
On a different note, I have been reading in forum posts and in the FAQ that good quality duct tape can really take care of a small leak in a Turbo rubber hose. I was wondering what brickboarder's experience was regarding this.
