New FD new problem

ok, 94 auto fd difficulty/slow acceleration its TT and got beat by a almost stock probe gt. suggestions? no smoke and not sputtering. just SLOW acceleration. boost doesnt seem to really take effect till almost 6,000. but you can hear turbos spooling up hardcore at about 3-3,500 so, i was thinking possible boost leak. but WHERE FROM? not hearing any hissing or whooshing while driving. thanks.

Check the coupler at the crossover/y-pipe.

Coupler between the pipe that connects the Pipe that merges the charge from the 2 turbos(y pipe) and the pipe that connects to it and goes top the s shaped pipe at the intercooler inlet.

Yep, you can check everything you want but you won't know if the car is running correctly until you stick a boost gauge on it.
