downpipe leaking?
Posted earlier on a how much boost I should be making. I was told to check all the boots and downpipes. I found the right downpipe was leaking right off the turbo connection. What am I getting into whan fixing this problem? Can I get the parts I need from an autoparts store or do I have to go directy through ford?

If your downpipe from the turbo to the exhaust is leaking, that is annoying but will not affect boost. If the up pipe from the manifold to the turbo baby's butt or Y-connecter is leaking, you have found your lack of boost problem.

Yes. It seems like there are 4? rubber boots on the tubes coming off the turbo where the screws tend to loosen up a bit. I'd go ahead and check all the clamps you see and tighten them up a little if they seem loose.
