hey guys ive been on here for a little bit but haven't said much ,

I just fitted a pwr step back cooler to my fg , and took it for a little drive around the block , boost usually comes in at around 2200-2400 (something like that) I haven't driven the car for a while as I have no licence atm , any way , there was no pull from the motor and no spool noise , rather than do something I shouldn't I parked her back up, is it my dodgy tightening of the stock piping to the cooler or it will be like this until its tuned???

Sounds like a fairly large leak mate. Has a pipe blown off?

Looking at your post in the other section.. You're using stock piping.. Did you possibly crack any of it while fitting the new cooler? From personal experience.. It breaks really easy..

2nd. Coolerworx is cheaper (but still nice quality) and gives you the option of a turbo side intake later on.

no need to relocate battery if you are just going to upgrade to the coolerworx piping kit. you will only need to relocate the battery if you change to a turbo side intake. I believe the xr8 intake clashes with most piping kits, bomber knows a bit more on this topic.

nice car by the way.

Edit: Refer this thread for some of Bomber's experiences with coolerworx/xr8intake:
