Greddy I/C, Boost leak

So I installed a Greddy I/C and I lost a lot of boost, down to .9 kg/cm^2.
So I installed a turboXS MBC and put the boot to about 1.35- 1.4 kg/cm^2 and that worked pretty well but then something started leaking and so far I haven't found what it is, the lower pipe kit looks pretty good and I tried to tighten everything, the upper pipes and DV look good. Is it possible the I've f'ed up the DV.

Is the I/C making any strange high pitched noises? If so check the rear bolt connecting to the turbo (the one hard to get to), its prolly not in all the way, I had that problem w/ my greddy I/C.

Naww, It starts to spool fine until 7 psi.then you hear a loud leak.
It is not the DV I checked that out so I'm going to pull off the bumper and check everything out , prolly unhook it all then hook it back up.
Is anyone needing to use T-bolt-clamps with their Greddy intercooler, I'm using what it came with.
