I imagine Andrew is holding your hand on this, but I mistanely had a leak at the dp. You probably need a friend to help hold the downpipe to make sure its flush when putting the clamp on.
When I fixed this I went from making 11psi at 3600 to 3200rpm, lol.

Nick,
What are you doing about turbine/chra hardware? I'm trying the "nimonic" **** with inconel safety wire. If that fails I'm dropping off the green car to Mike Minnet in Fort Worth with an LS3, T56, and 8.8 rear...after I grow a few thousand bucks.

Strange, i always had a hell of a time getting that nut on with my begi cast mani. I thought everyone had one of these:
No, by myself. I actually rigged up a few pieces of 2x4 to hold the bottom of the dp in place while i played with it a bit. No leaks that i know of yet. Only test drove it a mile or so last night.
There is currently nothing on it. I need to get the car to a fabricator for some solid charge pipes to finish up my exhaust then to TC design for a cage. Ill be safety wireing mine with ss wire before the car sees any boost. I would have safety wired it before i put it together but i broke like 3 drill bits. These bolts are strong.

buy inconel wire...no more chances. I think I'm going to start with the TiAL bolts I already bought, wired with inconel, and if that fails I will use the "nimonic" **** from Williams F2. I'd rather drill on the $10 hardware than drill on the $130 nut and stud combo that is sure to wreck my life.
I was able to point my charge pipes "down" unlike most others with the AF stuff and I just had Abe/ARTech use the old begi pipes.
BTW, I'm also thinking about trying to get the 11psi BOV spring to work becuase I had very high Silicon #'s on my last uoa most likely from the BOV staying open.
