i bought another set of clamps this afternoon at the boat store...they use t bolts for exhaust...plus with my wicked professional discount it worked out well

i was running 11psi all weekend, and then for some reason it shot up to 15psi and i let off..idk how or why..i just parked the car and havent looked at it since.

The elbow actually blew off the turbo, none of the other pipes seperated.

hey bro even 11 psi is pushing it on a stock bottom end. Have a credit card or funds ready to do that bottom end. your engine will only take a few more of those spikes before it lets go. Too many stories I've seen and heard even with a good tune.

i had relocated the coil packs, and switched two of the coil packs, so all i had to do was just rearrange the harness.

responded to your pm.

I definitely think you are out of injector. Minimum you'll need a 42. Datalog a w.o.t blast and see what's going on,

I have a set of 50 lb RC Engineering injectors that I'm selling for $225. They're one year old and nothing is wrong with them.

Thats what I am running, but I added additional billet mufflers after the hooker? Im thinking its going to be quieter than stock...a good thing for me I live in L.A, California and the cops are really bad here specially when you remove your cats so, the quieter the better..
