Boost ?

i really dont think its a bad turbo because as u said i was pushing 4lbs which is somewhat normal

my 0-60 speed is alright its just when i get to higher speeds is when it starts to "struggle"

plus i just noticed that the pipe from the intake to turbo is cracked on the the bolt part of it(pic below).....i should slap myself for not thinking of that.....but could that be where the leak might be?

I studied that picture you posted, and I can't tell what that clamp is there for? Is that pipe connected from the MAF to the Turbo? My second question is, is that pipe two pieces with that clamp securing the two together? I must say thats an interesting intake setup.

If I am correct in guessing that its a two piece pipe connected with that clamp then I would suggest replacing it because that clamp is broken and im sure its leaking from there.
