That coupler on the tb is the wrong size, which is what caused beech's issue. My install notes point that out add a potential problem, and that the 2.75" adaptor is needed.

I don't think boost leak is a common issue. I saw one other guy with that problem, but it was simply because he didn't have his clamps tight enough. I'm a huge proponent of t bolt clamps. They do a much better, more reliable job, so long as the parts are the correct fit.

I too figured it to be about a $2k price difference once the needed sos upgrades and fuel/ engine management were considered.

 

Boost leaks at the couplers have nothing to do with the kit. They have to do with the installer (in my case me) installing the clamps and couplers correctly and tightening them down correctly.

 

Are you going to dyno again . Now that the leaks are fixed

 

Sweet setup any reason why you didn't go with a after market header, and better exhaust? I would think you would get a more more hp with just doing the back-end with that kit. I'm have seen these install and when these kits work I hear they are great.

As for getting more air in the font a ported tb is reported to get 5whp gains any plans on that in the future?

Would love to see an upgraded dyno sometime; great projects for far and good work.
