I think I might have figured out my boost problem, but I just want someone to verify it. . I have a stud missing where the manifold meets the hotside which is causing an audible exhaust leak. Could this be the reason that I cant boost more than 12psi even with the hallman mbc all the way up?

 

please help real quick. . .

 

had the exact thing happen but didnt loose any boost pressure due to the leak the hot side is after the turbo so i dont think thats the problem

 

Had the same thing happen to me, but I was still hitting full boost with power loss. I replaced the bolts and everything was working fine.

 

anyone else? im stumped. . if this isnt causing my boost problem then I dont know what to do
