RE: The Official SpikeyMikey87 Turbo Progress thread
accually getting a tune out of an exhaust for a turbo is not accuarate, depending on were the leak is, and how bad it is.....
just think about it this way, all ur exhaust is not going threw the turbo,(leaking out)so it will not spool as fast or as effecently.... i honestly would fix the leak first.... some can be a pain in the *** to fix, but it will save u time in the long run

Looking good on the install. Get that exhaust leak fixed. Also if IIRC that is not a Mattdog adapter. I'm pretty sure that that adapter is from "turbojunkie03" (aka grindpunk16 for the old schoolers). The Mattdog adapters do not leak and he has never made a one piece.
Keep those pics and videos coming!

That sounds exactly what my car sounded like when my Pacesetter header had a hole in it. It could be just the slightest hole. I put my hand around the header and felt it blowing hot exhaust. I agree with the others; get it fixed.
Good job on the work. I'll be looking out for some videos from you.
