Default HURRAY!! I have a boost leak!!! Thanx everyone!
Well, after two days of paranoia (which is just a good way of thinking when everyone's out to get you), I finally connected up the AWE pressure tester, put only like 7-8 PSI into the system, and air was BLOWING BIGTIME out the TBB!

Thanx everyone for telling me to stop worrying about a turbo failure and check for leaks, check for leaks, check for leaks.

I pay homage to the greater knowledge of the collective!

Good advice, could be leaks elsewhere and verify the newly installed TBB.

Do you solder, re-pin, or splice you O2 sensors ?
