exhaust leak? if ur using the stock gate just shim the mounts a bit. If all ur pipes are sealed well its just a matter of putting a few washers between the gate and the turbo body.

Re: only making 5 psi?

might sound stupid, but are you using a gasket between the turbo and mani?

downpipe doesnt matter. pull the turbo and put grease around on the flange like a gasket. its supposed to burn and form carbon that acts as a gasket
