30 psi of boost to 25 after ported turbo housing??
okay so I just put on a USA ported housing from clay at riffraff. Before the housing I would hit 30 psi of boost after the max I hit was 25! is this normal? or do I have a boost leak?

I was afraid it was a boost leak. I didnt remove the intercooler pipes so I know its not that. should i just tighten the 5 bolts on the housing more and make sure it seated properly in the intake spyder? thanks! it completely eliminated the surge and in my opinion it sounds even better than the stock setup.

I'm assuming you pulled the intake spyder do remove the compressor housing.. so I would say your intake boots are loose.
Get the t-clamps lined up and tightened down. The best way is with an impact wrench so you can hold them in place and tighten them quickly

Oh I'm more than happy with it. but if its just a matter of tightening some bolts down then im going to give it a shot.

could it be that it has a W/W installed and needs to be swapped back to the stock wheel to suit the new housing. just throwing it out there..
