Here's a link to the thread I just made on the Subaru forums (huge, 56K BEWARE, there's like 29 photos): Exhaust work [56k, brew some coffee] - NASIOC

I had a manifold with a small leak in it, so my turbo didn't make boost until after 3k. Now, I'm starting to see boost at 1,750 RPM.

I was going to wrap the down pipe, but it would be physically impossible to remove the heatshields from it. They're welded directly to the downpipe itself. I am going to be installing a turbo blanket soon, however. I will be posting more about that later.
