Vancouver,
Hey guys, I just installed a FMIC, I checked every coupler and they were all tight on. I started the car runs fine. However, everytime boost kicks in, the car just Huffss (BOV does go off it is a turbo xs RFL). THe car all of a sudden looses power when boost kicks in. I am guessing it is a boost leak. But after tugging on all the pipes and hoses, I am just wondering what are the possibilites of a boost leak??
 
Are there any professional one I can buy? I have a EVOIII16g so I am guessing something thats 2.5 inches in diameter. Or anyone have one I can buy.
 
there is no need for a professional kit, if there are even any out there.
It is simple:
I bought this at home depot except it is a 3" piece

Then drilled a hole in rubber and found a tire plug (autozone?) that has a bolt on the inside of the tire to tighten it. cost only a few dollars

or like oldmans link, many people use a PVC pipe end cap and then get a rubber connector and clamps to go over the end cap and over the turbo inlet or pipe. Then drill in the end cap and put a tire plug in it. Anyway you can create a tight pressure seal will work
