First I want to thank Adam for all his help. I'm new to these cars and he has shown and explained alot of stuff to me. Next time I'm in GB the beer god will have to drop off some beer at his house. Thanks again Adam!
I put 550 miles on the car Saturday, trip to Milwaukee and back plus some another trip to a friends cottage. On the way I stopped in GB and Adam pressured tested my system. Had one big leak, a split in the "Y" pipe between the where the two turbo lines attach. A temporary fix was to put some RTV in the crack and clamp it down. We were able to pressure test again and it held. It was a noticable difference in boost on the way home. So it looks like a new chrome "Y" pipe will be on order today.
Kyle

SJ I have never met you but it was funny that when I was at Adam's you called and I instantly knew who he was talking to. Will need to meet up with you in the future and check out your car. I have a 93 VR that looks identical to yours but you have a lot more mods than I have. Mine is pretty much stock right now.
Kyle
P.S. Any links to find a new Chrome Y-pipe that isn't too expensive?

No problem Kyle.
If you want to pick up a new throttle body gasket, and bring her down for the GB gathering, we can change it there. unless you get to it sooner.
RTV and nylons ties to the rescue.

If you are looking for a stock y-pipe - I have one that you can have for free - you just pay shipping.  Regards... TB

Sounds great. Give me shipping price and your address and I will send some $$ to you ASAP. Send it when you receive my $$$. I'm in no hurry, I don't race the car but the RTV will only hold up so long. Plus I never ordered a Chrome one yet. Thanks
