but when you are in second gear and slam it down shouldn't it respond crazy do to boost it takes a good time for it to pick up speed,i think it might be my ic pipe coming from the ic to the intake it's only slipping over the other pipe with no coupler so i'm probably loosing pressure there

WHAT THE ---- MAN

You "slipped" a piece of intercooler METAL piping over another piece of METAL charge piping after your intercooler with NO COUPLER and expected that to hold pressure? ------- obviously thats your problem

Are you ------- serious are did you type that wrong. Im going to kill you if you actually used no coupler
