Went for a nice little spin today, found a decent sized hole in my exhaust.

I am really hoping its what is causing the backfire I have going on down-change, ECU hasn't thrown a code and it seems to be running sweet so heres hoping.

Also wondering if it might be causing my slight lack of boost 14-15 PSI down to 10-12 PSI

[Guest S T E Y E]

weres the leak?? if its before the turbo itl cause boost problems?? if its after the turbo it shouldnt??

Quite a way after, down past the cat.

Kinda thought that was a long shot. I put an STI ECU in, its got all the other good gear it needs, Yellows,correct AFM, STI turbo but its never consistently boosted right since.

But its still better than the previous ECU I had which threw a code every 3 minutes.

The Sti bottom's are bigger now aren't they?? If I can figure out how to take my one off, I may just get a bigger bottom one

[QRAF]

just remove the plastic from the back of the boot and you'll see the wholes.

It can be after the crystal spots I'm hopefully getting off Munga.

And here's a shot of my new head unit I installed:
