Importance of a boost leak check.

[MPFab]

Stayed late tonight and performed a simple outpatient procedure on the Sonic. Found an enormous leak at the intermediate charge pipe that connects the turbo to the MPFab intercooler kit. I made a couple videos I'll post later. Going to drive home now. This should make a big difference. I'll let you guys know in a bit.

How's spool now? Glad to hear it's running well!

Spool is the same. Power is NOT the same. I didn't expect any change in spool. I expected to pick up power, and boy did it! Low boost pressure isn't as lame as it was, and the pull from 4.5k up is ridiculous.
