Amazing boost difference
Did alot of research and reading on turbo boost leaks. Come to find out all six boots that go from turbo to intercooler to intake head can loosen. I made homemade guage out of 3" pvc cap, pressure gauge, & air hose adapter. I boost the air pressure to 20psig on turbo system, come to find out 4 out of 6 boots were leaking atleast slightly. I tightened them up and gained 3 to 4 pounds of boost at wide open throttle. Boost went from 18 to 21 or 22PSIG.
