[QUOTE="fifty, post: 126923, member: 2498"] Alright, tester built, test done...results: The clamp that holds the turbo and the intake spider together was where the "leak" was...and by leak, I mean a flood of air. I took the clamp completely off and noticed the spider was sitting about 2 or so milimeters higher than the turbo. So I loosened up the attached boots, hit it with a rubber mallet until it was as close to even as I could get it, tightened it all up, tried the tester and it just kept blowing the pvc cap/tester out so I am assuming its all good. Its hot in the sun, so I buttoned it all back together and I am now sitting looking for a beer inside. I hope this solves the problem! (last gas fill up showed a 1.5 mpg drop) [/QUOTE]
