Default I think I won the Darwin Award today... My "Boost Leak" has been fixed!

After spending the last 2 days with my bumper off - trying to find an elusive boost leak when i installed my tCarbon FMIC, I've located the bastard.

It finally struck me that I had removed the battery during the install to get more torque on one of the clamps... So the boost leak? I NEVER RESET MY APR PROGRAM AFTERWARDS!!! deeeedeeeedeeee!!!

Been running stock all this time and thought it was a boost leak! I winnar!

Default hahah... yep, i've done that a few times :-)

that's the biggest/bestest reason to have a boost gauge- it instantly clues you in to the fact that you're running the wrong program :-)

The worst part is that the next I disconnect the battery, i'll probably go through the same issue!!
