How strange is this, I used a spare aluminum elbow I had lying around and some silicon connectors (right setup but made to work using incorrect sizes), and I'm getting a better turbo spool lower in the rev range and a more linear power curve rather than the previous noticeable kick-in rush from the turbo, but worse fuel economy .... hmm I think I still might have a boost leak or the ecu has dropped the psi as I can't hear my usual wastegate chatter

Ecus don't like boost leaks at all.

 

Got an air compressor? If so block off both ends of your intercooler piping (turbo and throttle body) and make something to be able to pressurise the piping and see of you got a leak. If you suspect a small leak at joints you can use some soapy water on the joints and loom for bubbles.
