Dang Jim, I thought things were better. Wish we would have looked at it more before you left. We could have pulled in the shop and had a look. Darrins got a nice AC'd shop we could have used.

Did you leave a rag in the IC tubes or intake plenum Jim?
Look at the back side of the collector and the indention running down the middle as it splits off for each up pipe. It looks like a baby's rear end.

Jim, when you leave to drive your truck in the morning or whenever, before it gets too hot, stick you hand around back there and feel for leaks. I would start with sticking your hand right over the top of the turbo, that's where mine was leaking from when I didn't get things lined up correctly. All of this is of course with the engine running. You may have already done this though.

Problem solved!!! Where the spider mates up to the outlet of the turbo it was off just a hair. As it got hot it must have expanded just enough for me to have these issues. I loosened the boots for the IC tubes and the Intake plenums reset the spider and tigtened everything up again. Took it for a ride and is all set now. I must have tightened up the plenum boots first then the spider. Here are a couple of pics right after I removed the clamp. I noticed that the clamp seemed to be a bit off the way that it sat.
I am going to let it cool down then check everything onece again. I will be replacing all of the boots in the near future.
Thanks for all your help and input. This is why FTE is
because of all of you.

I saw that the clamp was not sitting right and when I removed it it was obvious as to what it was.
I started making a leak detector last night. I was just exhausted I will have to finish it though.
Thanks Keith I love easy fixes
