Well I found the source of the leak, thing is Turbonetics sent me 16 3.0" T-bolt clamps, instead of 6 3" and 10 2.5". The 10 hose clamps I bought arent holding up very well, 2 were loose even though they were put on with an air ratchet and then some. I dont want to have to keep tightening clamps so I called Turbonetics about getting the correct 2.5" t-clamps shipped to me ASAP. Im waiting for a call back from Reggie. I guess I wont be feeling full boost for a few days still

Turbonetics were closed today, and I am sure Reggie will call you back tomorrow, probably have the claps by Wednesday. I finally cranked my freshly TURBOED Z today and the first thing it did was run hot, no coolant, forgot to fill it back up after my new thermostat was installed, duh. Then, an exhaust leak gremlin is lurking somewhere under my hood, I haven't driven the Z yet, but man she sounds brutally mean!!! Good luck with the rest of your install.

Lol guys, no harm done, he PM'd me Im waiting to here back from Reggie about an ETA on the T-bolt clamps. The pipe that runs from the passenger side u-tube from the IC to the MAF is the one where the coupling gets blown off. Should be an easy fix...

Hey Alberto, were is your boost gauge reading boost at? Off the plenum or off the compressor housing? After you fix your clamp, if it still reads low, check the gauge. It should be running off the plenum somewhere.

Update: Reggie just called me, he will be overnighting the correct t-bolt clamps to me, I should have them tomorrow Thanks MIA for calling him, they have good customer service its before 8 am Cali time and he already called me back. Sucks that there was a miscount on the clmaps, but its good to see they take care of their customers ASAP if there is a problem. I hope tomorrow Ill be reporting back to you guys about how sick full boost feels....
