When cold, start your engine and start feeling around the ypipe and up pipe connections on your turbo. They can be a pita to line up. Do you hear a leak?

I had to remove the turbo bolts, line the up/ypipes up first then put the turbo bolts in. Someone also had a suggested to me to brush some anti-sieze around the inside of the clamps. That seemed to help it clamp and seal easier... You will get it!

I had to loosen the passenger side exhaust manifold to up pipe bolts and the y-pipe I could move it enough to line it up. It was easier with the wheel well cover off to do this
