this is the second time because i had a major issue with the car driving very horrible under boost and couldnt even idle after going into boost, i figured i had a vacuum leak but just couldnt pinpoint where it was coming from so i removed the turbo kit instead of troubleshooting the problem due to my daily driver car was in the body shop getting paint done so i had no transportation at the time, once i started removing the turbo kit i found a very large leak (silicone seal) at the block off plate greddy supplies for the 6th port i will not use that plate this time around from the research i have done looks like the plate is not needed...so now while the turbo kit was off i was able to purchase a full set of real silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps...btw the car has about 6k miles on it now so i hope once the kit is on it motivates me to drive it more often
