    That shouldn't happen. You might have a boost leak. If you are using the worm clamps provided with the kit, replace them with t-bolt clamps. I had to do that with mine.

    I don't understand.

    Hydraulic Supply Company. Their locations are listed here: http://www.hydraulic-supply.com/html/rrlocal.htm

    I would recommend you first get your system pressure tested to make sure that there is a leak. Regardless, those worm clamps are pretty shitty.

    Thank you :)

    no it wouldn't it, most likely your couplers are loose somewhere because worm clamps doesn't seal well when they are overtightened and wrinkles the silicon

    No. When I first installed my front mount, I had the stock turbo. It hit the target boost levels, but IIRC, it would stutter a little when I floored it.

    Did you replace any vacuum lines? Particularly those going to the boost control solenoid or the wastegate?
