I found a place about an hour away, R/T Tuning...might give them a try.

When I do the smoke test and re-dyno I post my results and findings.

A smoke test for one pipe and 3 couplers that are all very visible?

From what I read it is much more than 3 couplers and one pipe. It could leak from those areas yes, but also from manifold, fuel injectors, bpv, and...I recall the install of a T for the breather/pvc or something like that...plus perhaps other hoses to/from plenum and TB which were't subject to positive pressures of up to 8 and now they are...I'm not a mechanice and know only what i learned from this experience so dont flame me for saying something stupid ;-)

Once weather is nice Im getting to R/T and will probably go Ecutek.
