[B]This is kinda odd, i need help![B]
Last night my downpipe and midpipe came in the mail, so i installed the new downpipe with a new O2 sensor, but i left the stock Cat (midpipe) in for now. Also when i was under the car, i noticed that the mechanical actuator for the 2nd turbo to spool, was disconnected. That would probably explain my no 2nd turbo spool up! BUT, heres the wierd part. After i fixed that problem, i drove home from work about 3 miles, and when i opened the hood at home, the down pipe was GLOWING RED HOT!! i got on it a little on the way (55-65 mph) home but nothing serious. I dont think that the pipe should get that hot.
Also i noticed that the turbo doesnt "spool", it kinda screams, like a loud whine.
PLEASE HELP!!

IF you get boost creep because of the midpipe, the boost controller cant lower the boost. you have to port the wastegate.
