Where are all the clamps I should tighten so I don't get a boost leak?
I'm going to do a boost leak test this weekend, but for now I want to make sure all the clamps are tight. The only ones I know of are the 2 on the intake piping. Are there any other ones I should check out and tighten?

There is a clamp that comes off the turbo. Take your intake tube off and you can get to it. 5/16" socket with a screw driver like handle works best. One right under the engine and don't over tighten this one. One on the passenger's side going into the inter cooler; need to jack the car up to get to that one and a 5/16" socket is way easier then a screw driver. Then one coming off the inter cooler on the driver's side. Then one where the tube goes into the intake which can be reached from the top. They will be loose and leaking if you have not checked them.

Thanks man! I have a question about those things screwed on to the filter cover (in above pic). I took off the filter cover and now they are just hanging there. What can I do to support them. What can I ziptie them onto?

zip tie ALL vac lines and tighten down all piping clamps, don't worry too much about the intake clamp b/c boost doesn't flow inside the intake pipe.

Because it sounds a lot better with the K&N drop in in there.

HAHAHAHAHA......this reminds me of potty training my 2 year old.
just like the big metal clamps are around the big pipes.......
pretend the zip tie is a metal clamp but for all the tiny vac lines

Ever heard of a short ram intake? They do the same thing.
Plus, I did the hood scoop mod so I have better air flow from the outside into the engine.
