Well i get my car back from the shop FINALLY after getting the tranny rebiult (blocker rings were wobbling a bit and prevented me from going in reverse) a couple other things were wrong too... clutch was becoming burned out (after 3,mos?) and the shifter cables were old. But anyway, im back in business until i start driving and notice that my car's acceleration ABSOLUTLEY SUCKS i look at my boost gauge and im only getting 5lbs WTF?
 so i call the shop back and they dont know anything about it. i call the good dr tweak and he confirms that it's what i thought: a boost leak I cant figure out where but it may be because they removed some IC piping and didnt put it back right, so back to the place i go, wish me luck!could it be anything else? figures.... i was just about to go get it dynoed

thanks guys, come to find out the guys at the shop unbolted the wastegate actuattor and it was just flopping around. tweak had it bolted a certain way to the tranny and when the tranny came out they didnt put the wastegate back so i had a massive leak. i took it back, they bolted it and all is well in the jungle....
