The car sees full boost at 5k!! And it's only 14lbs!! Still hits when i'm at 14psi and I can still break 120+ pretty easy. It might down a little bit power... but nothing more so noticable other then the lack of boost it's seeing. It usually sees 16-17psi.
Car is full boltons minus a FMIC and Piggy back.
So... the car will see it's 14psi at 5k and the exhaust note has gotten deeper+louder. It also pops/girgles/backfires (As Mopar puts it) a lot more.
I haven't really done any snooping yet since family is over today and I don't have time. But I did check the intercooler piping and the coils/plugs are in place. I am gonna remove them tomorrow or tonight to see if they look ok. I don't hear any ticking for an exhaust leak... I was thinking boost leak but why would the exhaust note change... for the better? :-)
Slow car. If your turbo was blown, there would be no guessing. It simply wouldnt have any real power, and you might even notice a very strange sound coming from the turbo.

So the turbo definitely isn't blown... still throws you in the seat and still pulls pretty hard.
