the leaks, yes i said leaks, were coming from my coolant lines to the turbo. one hose was split, and the other just wasnt on tight enough. hopefully thats fixed. you can get the details from brandon or jason about the 1.5 hrs it took to straighten everything out.

the turbo isnt pulling as hard as i "heard" it would. maybe the downpipe/cat really restrict it a whole lot. or maybe something else is wrong with it. im going over to brians tommorow to take care of the boost leaks. he doesnt know it yet but ima see if i can fix my knocking exhuast too.
