Moment of Truth

Wish me luck guys, I'm going to AMS this Saturday with some DC Evo Club members. But considering that I have exhaust & boost leaks, I'm about to disappoint the Lancer community with my dyno run. I obviously don't have ample time to fix everything I want for my car to be in the shape I want before I dyno...this was on a very short notice but I'll go anyway. I'm gonna change my oil tomorrow. I have about 5k miles on my NKG BKR7's so I'm still good there. If anyone has any suggestions, please go ahead and post up. Thanks

No clue, I just realized I had it a few weeks ago...been too busy with other things to find it. Worst case scenario, it could be rusted pipes. I dunno, I haven't been down there in a while.

if you wanted to do it yourself, go buy a pvc endcap. drill a hole in it. place a valve stem through the hole. the coupler it to the inlet of the turbo. then put in air. prolly like 10 pounds of air and start to listen. or get out a bottle of water and soap, and spray down the pipe/everything

Open dp isn't exactly no exhaust at all off the turbo...it's a dp w/o an exhaust after it.

^^yet i know for a fact that i'm off by at least 2psi b/c of what my gauge is reading. my boost gauge has been reading 10psi when really i know im pushing 8. But recently, it's been reading 8psi so I guess im at 6...i hope it's just the gauge acting up to cold weather...i really hope so. i'm still at work but i'm about to check for leaks asap when i get off.
