Default boost leak after clutch install

long story short...cottmans installed my stage 4 clutch gave me the car back and i boosted 0 psi, look under the hood and the cold pipe isnt hooked to the throttle body, i made them fix it and then i fixed it again at my house cause it wasnt pushed all the way on...but im still only getting about 8-10 psi and car feels sluggish as hell...had no probelms before the install...so who has a shop thats available tomorrow to fix my problem cause im not going to try and make cottmans fix it cause they probablly cant..car is a 2004 SRT-4...i need all the pipes checked and tightened correctly and vaccum lines and boost lines checked

take it back to the shop again, or sell it and go buy an all motor car since its that hard for you to reinstall the coupling.

(Unless this was moved from some other sub-forum to 757)

Anyhow, mike12, search for threads on All Aspects Motorsports and the level of service that they offer.
