Default Thought I was ready but Mr. Murphy stopped by.

Almost finished up and last week , I heard what sounded like an airhorn under the drivers seat under boost. Turned out it was a t bolt clamp just dangling and the charge pipe from mid engine to the intercooler was leaking boost. So I ordered new t clamps and put them on before hitting the dyno yesterday. I was stoked to be on my way and decided to give it a test hit enroute. That was a bad omen. At about 16psi I did'nt get the airhorn sound but a little squeak. So I stopped by the store and bought some duct tape of all things. Rolled that around the silicone to make it thick and then clamped it back up on both ends. Hit the rollers and the first pull netted decent power but still weak for that level of boost. After the first pull it was just depressing to watch. Even in high boost it would'nt come near what target was. Power went down and on the way home it would'nt go past 4 psi without sounding like a fire horn.
I have reason to believe now that this big leak is'nt the only one, it's just the worst one. I basically have Vibrant silicone on the way for each joint of charge pipe in two sizes with the exception of the intake to charge pipe joint.
This is just a minor setback that will last as long as it takes fedex to get here with my stuff.
Dyno sheet is at the end of the video with all the successive runs but the first run made 710rwhp and 625ftlbs.
