HELP!!! just installed EGR delete

[greenwhite1]

I just installed a RCD EGR delete kit and when I put the turbo back on the up pipe did not meet flush with the turbo. I was able to get the V clamp on and tighten it down but once I started the truck I heard an exhaust leak. Found it was the up pipe to turbo that was leaking! Has anyone experienced this? I tried prying the up pipe closer and it wont move an inch. How do I fix this and the V clamp shot now, did I stretch it wider? I'm working on this as I type?

Leave the turbo mounting bolts loose and get the up pipe in place 1st then tighten the mounting bolts.

yup leave turbo loose.get your uppipes installed on the heads,then look at the both of em...did you remove the uppipe??

[harley1rocker]

well,of course you did,you gotta plug the hole...whats not lineing up? the turbo? do you have the up pipe on the manifolds correctly???

The up pipe Y right where it mounts to the turbo is not flush and I have tighten the heck out of the the V clamp and can not get the leak to go away. I am going to loosen the turbo mount bolts and see if that helps. Thanks
