i have the exhaust depot hard pipe kit with a greddy type rs.

as for the wga, each car is different so there's no definite spacing that you should have it set at. you'll just have to adjust and play with it until you get the levels that you are looking for. if you're seeing lower boost levels after installing the hard pipes it's probably a boost leak. the hard pipes actually help you see more boost. do a leak test and see if that's the problem. also reset the ecu.

im not a very bright one so how do reset the ecu on our cars. and as far as a leak is concerned i have checked about 15 times. question... when you make the space smaller between the two nuts on the arm does that increase or decrease the boost.

tightening it increases boost.

to reset the ecu just take off the negative side from the battery for about 10 or 15 mintues.

how are you checking for leaks? are you using a leak tester and putting it under pressure? smoke machine?

listening isn't going to detect anything unless you're leaking insane amounts of boost. read this on how to build and use a leak tester. it's the only way to tell if you really are leaking, just listening isn't going to do it.
