You might not even have to lift your car. I know when I got mine installed, one of the couplings popped off and I was like WTF, cause no boost. Took like 2 seconds and it was good to go. It just needed to be tighter I guess. It was near the turbo on mine, so it made it easy though.

I also bought my Turbo kit from Ed and it's 5k+ miles of boost and counting. Pretty fun ****.

yea, if it was a boost leak large enough for no boost you'd still either
A) have ALL exhaust bypassing the turbo and the exhaust leak would be beyond loud
B) have all boost venting, the turbo would still be spooling and would be crazy loud.

had both happen on an old z31.....both were stupid loud lol.

I think vinny is a *****. I been there one time in my life and it was to pick up a new uppipe because mine cracked and he was such a dick to me. On top of that, he ordered the wrong pipe for me but luckily they were doing another TN install so i just took that kits up pipe.

Yea, not sure what is up with not tuning UTEC. it's not the best, but it also is not emanage...

I will make it out in the future, I'm going for my retune/new parts next week!
