Help Please!!
I've had my FD for 2 weeks now and the problem is getting worse. To me it seems as if I have a boost leak at the first turbo. Is this possible. I used the search, and found no one with this problem. It has weak boost, and you can hear air leaking out until 4500 rpm (2nd turbo). What do you think.

We are going to need a better description of the problem to be any help.
My first suggestion would be to check the couplers that connect the crossover pipe and the IC. Then you can check the Plastic inlet elbow on the primary turbo. The next thing would be to replace the vacum hoses if the are all still stock.

hose kit will set you back about $120. Then if you are not up forth the challege of doing the job yourself 4-5 hours, depending upon how good you are you can expect to pay a compitent shop $450-$500 to do it for you.
