It sounded like a pit of snakes in the tunnel...
With all that hissing no smoke or bubbles needed. :drink:
Have a rear mount bender a few years old now, so it looks like it was past time to do some clean up work. Pulled charge tube a welded a few cracks and 2 holes. Not back together yet but wondering how far off tuning will be now that it is all tight? It did seem like it dident have the same snap last year that I remembered and I have had to do small adjustments each year. Was still hitting 12 lbs on the gage but there sure was a lot of air leaking out on the test. Should be all good again now.
 

Shouldn't affect tuning because the carbs will still see the same pressure, just the turbo was working harder to compensate for the leaks to build the same 12 lbs boost on the charge side.
Now it won't have to spin as hard or as fast... it will be more responsive.
