[QUOTE="hirting, post: 15629117, member: 180577"] I had a crazy boost leak after my install and could not get the car tuned until I addressed it. The tuner saw the issue immediately in the data and would not tune the car until I found the leak and addressed it. I drove myself crazy for 3-4 weeks tearing apart the piping and putting it back together and still not addressing the issue. I finally had my car towed to a local shop and had it smoke tested. It turned out the O-ring gasket was missing between the throttle body spacer and throttle body. They told me smoke was pouring out around the area of the throttle body. They popped in a new O-ring and the leak was gone and I was able to tune the car properly. I wish I would have done that sooner. It would have save me several weeks of pulling my hair out and breaking clamps due to over tightening. I would definitely check the throttle body and make sure the O-Rings are in place and if it still does not address the issue, get the smoke test done and save yourself some time and headaches. I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
