SO yeah, put on the new TB (thanks kevbo, works awesome), fixed my j-pipe bolt (turbo was stripped out).

DId a boost leak test about to 35psi. Small leak out of AFPR on the vacuum line fitting, i guess i need to use some teflon tape on the fitting maybe?
Only other place is the nipple on the top of the TB, i should probably have those welded up too. But these are really small leaks.

Anywho driving the car last night, car would spike to 33psi but settle to 22psi, i just want to hold boost steady and i can't.

Please help with any suggestions or ideas.

Thanks
Aaron
