Re:89 Bombing

This isnt normal - You must have left something loose on your install - Does the truck seem slow or is the boost just not registering with the gauge?

No the truck runs normal. I tried to pay particular attention to the hook up. I put teflon tape on all brass. I got the joint pretty snug.

Re:89 Bombing

Ok, I have a couple things I have to check anyway. I may have used to much teflon. I put it on both the block fitting and the fitting to the compression fitting. This may have made it so I didn't get it tight enough.
