rag is long gone lol, the turbo sucks air in just fine, seems to spool just fine, i just think there is a boost leak somewhere. Im gonna build a tester and check things out tommorw, I think the radiator hose might be the culprit, but if it is, how much to do you think a shop will charge to weld it and do you think they could can weld a steep bend like that?

alright made a leak tester and I found a pretty good size leak around the weld for the bov flange. The radiator hose fitting actually seems to be holding well ill find out for sure once the leak i found is sealed.
