Hey,

So I've been having a issue after I installed a boosted performance turbo kit a couple months ago.

When I was doing the build I notice the ic piping was really close to my starter and if the two touched it would arc. I was able to create just enough room for the two not to touch and continued the build. After the build I had to wait for about a week to get the car tuned but when I went to go crank it the battery was dead...jumped the car off and drove to get it tune. The next day the samething...and the samething the next. So I decided to drive it around the city for a couple of hours then parked it. After one hour it cranked, after 2 hrs it cranked. After 3hrs it hesitated but still cranked...when I got to 5hrs the battery was dead. Everyday now I have to jumped the car to get it to crank. The battery won't hold a charge, I don't know if it's a bad battery or if the ic piping is touching the starter and causing it to drain the battery or if something from the kit is draining the battery. Any ideas?
