Default i think i found a boost leak...
check out the pic. this has to be a huge leak. i believe this is for a intercooler temp sensor. im seeing 12psi now & hope to see 15-18 with this sealed up. what do you guys think.

by the way, i didnt install the kit!!

I doubt that will make much differance hahaha. I can't believe no one could find that. I'm shocked you couldn't hear it. I hope it's fixed and you get the numbers you're looking for.

A little JB Weld should fix it.

Looks like a quality install from "Retards R-Us"

Glad you found the problem.
