When ya gonna do something about those leaky up-pipes! Lol.

I know mine went from being TIGHT to looking kinda like your drivers-side looks (as best as I can see in yer pic...) after swapping turbos. I guess I wiggled the babies butt just enough to make it leak - dammit. Its costing me 7-8lbs of boost and raised EGT's ALOT! I'm sure MPG has suffered as well.

Fixin' to call Clay and get some ceramic-coated bellowed up-pipes on the way!

10-4. I kinda have PMS too - but I can stop anytime I want...

Well, it would be easier to stop if I didn't have Clay on speed dial!
