Maybe a shop rag in there that someone pulled out while you weren't looking!

Glad it's working now, hope the numbers beat your expectations...

(going sideways again). so we now know that its not the intercooler, and we are pretty sure that it was 2 of the pipes coming out of the intercooler that may have been pushed too far together into the silicone coupler at an angle to each other and restricting flow causing the high IATs and low boost. Im glad its not the intercooler as im sure Bob and Jon are too. Bob, thankyou for all your help with this and im sorry if I caused you any problems posting this up before we knew what was going on for sure.
I'm just glad Jon's car is now making boost! Bob
