Exhaust leak?+no boost shows up on gauge
Hey guys. I ran my boosted 95 civic ex for the first time tonight 
It has a greddy kit on it. I seem to have an exhaust leak in between the downpipe and cat. Least I think that's what it is. It wasn't like that before the turbo. Any of you guys have that problem? It flutters(not the BOV)... Or is that the turbo? And it's pretty loud.
Also, my boost gauge isn't showing boost... it's a cheap matrix gauge, but it should still show something. It reads 20 hg at idle, but when boosting it doesn't go above zero. Also, the car doesn't seem to be real fast but the BOV sounds in between shifts. I checked for any piping leaks. Is it because of only running 5 psi? Thanks.
