I have had problems in the past with the band clamp at the turbo not sealing up properly. The new down pipe had a little ding in the flange.

bingo, I will tak it back off and see if thats the problem. thanks

I didn't see any dings in the down pipe at all. I am going to the dealer to get a new clamp as to what magnafow sugested. but i dont know if its going to work.

Hopefully the clamp works but if not look for black soot chances are if you find the soot spot you found the leak. That's how I found a few leaks on my truck.
