Thanks Drew. I appreciate it. I think they just have the off the shelf elbows reducers, etc that just won’t be a perfect fit for the way this hose is designed. They may be able to do something custom but I’m guessing that Vibrant would charge even more than the first place you recommended. At this point I’m just going to borrow a boost leak tester if I find one locally or have my shop test it.
Turns out my slight boost leak was this f'n thing......so much aggravation for a simple solution. Decided to give everything one last check before I took the car to my shop on Thursday. These DP v-band clamp bolts have backed out on me before but never enough to cause a boost leak until now. Wasn't backed out enough to be visually noticeable, but once I put the wrench to it it was apparent it was slightly loose. Logs look much better now.

It moves out pretty good thanks, however, since I'm at 6k ft in Denver it's much slower than if I lived at sea level. Good news is all the other ICE cars are slower to! Even with the 18%-ish power hit we take at this elevation still fast enough to easily take a M3P.
Assume this is just another small boost leak I get to chase? No CEL's at all or codes on my Accessport.
I always keep my Accessport hooked up and just noticed that I didn't seem to be hitting my typical 33-34psi peak, so pulled a log.

Appreciate this parts list. I'm in the same boat with the IE V1 hoses....ended up just doing the same thing you did for now. So thanks. Also vband will cause a boost leak? What were your symptoms? Anyways, again, appreciate everything!
