Angry Poor Boost ... No Tracking

Just had all this work done on my car and I have a serious boost leak. Don't know for sure where it is but noone in town has the hoses (F hose and y hose). Very dissapointed. Was scheduled to go to the track and NO DICE!

When I picked up the car, could only get 0.8, flash to 0.9. By the time I got home, couldn't get past 0.7. Couldn't hear anything and the car was running OK otherwise. Now, the boost builds slowly and the car is a pig.

Can't feel any tears but I'm sure it's there.

Very dissapointed right now.

Perfect Power did the work. Sol said he thought the car was slow but didn't pull the trigger while test driving the car and catch that something was definitely wrong even though the car then only pulled 0.9 or 1.0 boost.

Even if he did catch it, we may not have been able to get the parts but ... too late now.

Doesn't it get you thinking of maybe going with the HKS setup from either SP or Akkurat?
