Stop...ok first the shop couldnt seal the pipe all the way? then they suck, ok ur in peoria, go to bell rd and go by all the dealerships take your first left and the is a small welding shop in that business park. Next get ahold of NicD he is on here or get a hold of him through AZPS(AZ power and sound), he will take care of all your programing needs and give you alot of good advice(he is an absoulte genius and his GTO is badass). I ran my TA down there for 2 years and had a turbo system and had to tackle problems just like yours. PM if you need more help.
