Jim, That's great news! I had a feeling it was the rubber manifold around the DV's. I thought you had checked this already?

Try Powertech I have used them for years in Rockaway NJ. They even have the Porsche computer. They also do chip modification there. 973-586-3210 ask for Mike tell him Arnie sent you

Thanks for all the help and good advice.
Theo, I may use Autosport in the future. I just called the service manager to complain and he said he'll check with the tech and get back to me. Yeah right. Sure am glad I paid with a credit card b/c they won't be getting paid without a fight.
Oak, initially I checked a few hoses before even having the DV's replaced. It must have been loose enough not to prevent the pressure from escaping, but not completely off. Certainly when I had the DV's and that very same hose REPLACED, that shop should have made sure it was real secure. The srew clamp should do it permanently and now I'll find the next weak link in the chain!

Jim, the next weak links are the hose clamps from the turbos.

And the hoses to the intercoolers, one of my clamps came loose, and I saw more lights then Christmas, and no boost

We'll, my car is happy with the new clamps. From about 3000 RPM in third with full throttle it went from 0.1 right to 1.0 on the readout skipping all the numbers in between! Then it went to 1.1.
If I change all my clamps, maybe I'll see 2.0!
