Yeah the first time i put the turbo on i stepped on it, the turbo spooled i felt boost. Then I floored it a second time and the pipe from the turbo blew off because i didnt have it tight enough. That could be it

I blew my charge pipe off of my TB the first time i took it for a run. Grabbed a can of hairspray and it has been tight ever since

Did you use extra hold, damaged hair, colored hair?? hehe j/p
what is your vacuum at idle? if it is around 5-10, you have a loose vacuum line. that happened to me once. but it is most likely the piping, check it all to make sure it is nice and tight

Yup.. Check all your clamps... make sure that all the pipes are together...
the ones i had problems with was the one with the blow of valve....and the other pipe was the one that came right after the turbo....
