Talkin bout intercooler gasket leak, 1 coupler leak

 

Intercooler gasket?

 

You opened up both ends of air flow without creating a demand for more flow. Probably takes longer to spool, possble you may have boost seeping out somewhere as well.

But at least you got those parts out of the way if you plan to add another 2K in parts.

 

Your supposed to hook up your BL tester to the turbo. It's more accurate that way.
