well i took the whole turbo assembly off yesterday to try and fix the coolant leak
turns out the banjo bolt was already ******* tight so i just said **** it,
while the manifold was out of the car i wrapped it with heat wrap, looks kinda crappy but i dont want the engine bay getting too hot
plus i put my CF hood back on since everyone was hatin on my stocker
still have an oil leak since i have yet to drop the oil pan and put some more permatex on there
ALSO, turns out my SSAFC had the over pressure setting at 7, which means it wasnt really doing anything till 7psi
probably explains why my AFR's were in the 14-15's WHILE BOOSTING

sweeet, nah i actually liked that hood since it actually fit good lol
thanks man ill change that to my sig in a sec
but i drove my car today, and its acting ****** weird, drove it all the way to charlotte and it was fine the whole way. Drove it again once i was in charlotte and there is like no boost, i hooked up my SS and the ****** max boost i hit was 4.5psi??!!
i was hitting ****** 8.5psi not even a week ago so anybody know what it could be?

Naw, mostly just the couplers, first. Its usually the main culprit. If nothing yet, check your exhaust gaskets from between the engine/manifold and manifold/turbo. Spark plugs would have nothing to do with that so dont worry about that. Last possible thing would be to check the vacuum hose from your wastegate to your turbo. That should cover majority of it.

well checked couplers, all of them, and they were all on there tight
checked the WG hose, looked fine, i thought it might be the Manual Boost controller i had on the line so i took that off and put a vacuum connector in between
still slow as hell
checked around the exhaust manifold for black marks where exhaust might be coming out, nope everything is still clean BUT i did notice one positive thing:
My wideband is reading in the 12-13 AFR's now when in boost compared to the 14-15's it did when i was boosting 8.5psi
wierd...i dont know whats wrong

lol yea thanks
but ive been browsing the ATP website for stuff to improve my setup
im thinking about getting this s***:
*Banjo Fitting, 14mm hole (for 14mm bolt) with -6 AN male flare.
*Steel braided Hose, -6 AN, for coolant or oil use, 24 inches long
*90 Degree 2" ID to 2.5" ID Transition Silicone Elbow
*Elbow 90 Degree 2.50" - Silicone
*Fitting, 1/4" NPT to 6AN Flare, Male to Male, Straight Adapter
*Banjo Bolt, 14mm x 1.5 pitch w/ 2 crush washers
*(SS) Steel Straight Pipe 2 feet length - 2.50" diameter (OD)
the banjo bolt, line, adapter, and banjo fitting will be for my turbo coolant return/feed line since thats the one thats leaking
and the 90 degree reducer and other s*** is for my hot side IC piping
im thinking about going 90 degrees from the left side of the IC straight back, im going to have to cut out some metal there but that would really cut down on the lag and would look a s*** ton better
I may try to figure out a way to do that with the cold side too so i can run fog deletes and make it look better from the outside too
but first, i need a job
