Parts installed, now no boost. HELP

So I installed my ETS intake, exhaust, test pipe and upper intercooler pipe this weekend. Reflashed for stage 2 with the accessport and took it for its maiden voyage. Made no boost. Checked for leaks, tightened all clamps and tried again. Still no boost. Any ideas?

Found the problem. The upper intercooler pipe is the culprit. Seems like the coupling should have been a little longer as it loves to slip off the top of the intercooler. Will be installing the ETS intercooler next weekend and that should give me the opportunity to take a closer look at it and get a bigger coupling if needed.

Maybe better clamps.

It came with some pretty stout T clamps. I think the issue is the coupling is just not long enough and the location of the intercooler and piping is a B**** to get to without taking the front bumper off.

I agree with you with the coupler not being long enough. It barely long enough..
