Usually the more air ure loosing the easier its to tell and if ure loosing that much air then check all the clamps and see if they're on right. Another easy way to check is, if u know sum1 with a garage who has an emissions tester, hook it up to the boost leak tester then you'll see the smoke where the leaks are/is

well i have after market wastegate, bov, and ams intercooler, with a turboxs boost control, full 3" exhaust,
Wow what crap. So you have an aftermarket wastegate on your stock turbo??! and an AMS intercooler on a stock turbo. Also you have a MBC and you dont even know if you have boost leak. I mean you do have a boost gauge right?

What kinda wastegate is this exactly?

The only aftermarket wastegate it can be is an upgraded actuator type one (internal), and what's wrong with an intercooler on a stock turbo, its proven to give you hp without an upgraded turbo. Its a different story if it was an eclipse with a sh**ty t25

how much you want for the 35r? and i'm not gunna lie i'd like to see the pics of a canned evo,lol and for the primed part, they look nasty in primer, how the f*** did it get canned to they way it is? by the way
and i hope you got a clutch if you're slapping an 70. on there, just u won't go anywhere with a stock clutch, and yeah how does it have an aftermarket wastegate on it? cuz that's just dumb and not worth it(to whomever put in on there)
