Unhappy Problems installing my Cooleeze

I installed a cooleeze and am having problems with an exhaust leak on the connection to the stock exhaust pipe. It's small but definately there! Warmed engine up to NOT and tightened the bolts. Still leaks. The angle from the cooleeze does not quite match up with the stock exhaust like the stock elbow. Also noted that this only is benefitial when the waste gate is bypassing exhaust. I may have to go back to stock elbow. Will contact Cooleeze Performance on Monday to see if they have any solutions. I might have gotten a defective part. Any ideas anyone?

Found out that the angle leaving the Cooleeze Megamouth was different than my stock. Greg has been very helpful and has aggreed to inspect the Megamouth (shipping paid by him) and fing out what is wrong. Re-installed stock exhaust elbow - no leaks. Waiting on Greg's evaluation - defective part or wrong part.

Yea, I have been thinking about getting one too. Don't have an EGT problem, but it just makes sense looking at the WG dump plate.

if you plan on keeping your truck very mild and keeping the stock turbo, it's a worthwhile upgrade, otherwise, you're better off putting that money towards a better turbo with a 4" outlet

Got the word from Cooleeze that my megamouth was either a defect (wrong outlet angle) or wrong part (not likely). Greg has been very easy to work with and has paid for all shipping to make this right. I will keep everyone posted...
