Same thing happened to me on my test drive after putting on my turbo. I had to tweak the bracket that goes from the downpipe to the exhaust stud. If I remember correctly, I had to add in a nut to clap the bracket onto the stud tightly. Otherwise it could move around and the downpipe would drop out of the turbo outlet. Remember that the ATS turbo outlet is just a slip fit and doesn't hold the downpipe at all, the bracket does all the work.

Ok I got the DP back in and sealed tight, not going anywhere now! I had to bend a 1 more of the fire wall so the downpipe fit snug and didn't vibrate against it. Didn't do any max boost runs but I can hit 10psi in about 1.5-2 seconds from 1.5lbs of boost at 50mph then downshift and 10lbs and speed shooting up! Im happy so far. Next on the list, find the leaky injector

Well previously I could achieve 10 still, but I would down shift, kind of pause at 7ish then creep up to 10psi, but by the time I hit that 10 I was going way to fast for the speed limit. Now its noticeably faster to hit 10psi, doesn't pause around 7-8psi. Now very rarely do I ever speed and need that boost, but its nice to know its available!!

Yep, at first I was a little optimistic about it but with all the talk on wrapping pipes and everything I figured the turbo hot side could use it too...and sure enough keeps it nice and toasty, like my GF said, "it looks like a snuggy blanket, for a turbo" lol. It seems like there is a lot of little things you can do to these turbos to squeeze some more out of them
