    Alright so I didn't do the lower bumper grill today, ended up picking up a shift at work so I will probably take care of that Sunday afternoon. On another note I had to disconnect my clutch line to install my battery relocate, I reconnected it and bled the line. The issue is now every like 50th press of the clutch pedal or so, it feels weird, as if it isn't getting moved as much or something. Could this be caused by a little air being left in the line and every 50th push or so I get to that air pocket in the line? Does it work like this? Sorry bit of a noob in this regard.

    You think they would look way better than red or way better than blue? I do already have black ones, so that'd save the hassle of getting red ones, which I honestly might not be able to find in that size and styles, its a tight radius 90*.

    What do you guys think about this? Will it be bad in the long run for my clutch cable to pressed against the battery? It is a stainless steel line, so it should be pretty stout i would think.

    Well a little disappointed. Last message from Vit:
    OK before we go any further... you need to look into that massive boost creep to 18 PSI. That is just... not good.

    So anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Could have the wastegate lines wrong cause this? Or a leak in the pressure source like? Or is this purely a result of the manifold and cannot be fixed? I think there must be an error here or something because the previous owner said they did not have boost creep and I've seen his dyno videos and he held 15 psi to redline. Mine creeped to 18 with boost control turned off.

    I won't have time till Saturday to check on the lines and try bypassing the solenoid. Hopefully I was dumb and hooked the lines up wrong or something, but I don't think I did. I put tape on the end of the top line so when routing I wouldn't get confused as to which one was what. If switching lines and/or bypassing solenoid doesn't work, I'll have to pull the wastegate and see if it is broken, so I guess get an air compressor and test it.

    Hey man check those hoses for holes, or being melted, if they are touching the manifold at all that's no good, if you used plastic push lock lines , in the location of that gate and manifold those things melt quick, mine kept melting even being wrapped in high temp insulating wrap and gold foil, I then swapped them for stainless lines and problem was solved. Hope this helps.

    His wastegate lines are in a DEI heat shroud, but also we routed them above the main wire harness along the firewall they are a few inches away from the manifold, i agree though something has a hole or is swapped somewhere.
