My hot side pipe has a wiggle.

Traded my 2019 for a 2021 and the dealership moved all of my aftermarket parts from one truck to the other. I’ve driven it for one day and noticed this. The most embarrassing part is I can’t remember if it wiggled on the 2019! I put it on two years ago… Had a couple of beers since then.

Rereading my first post… I’m seeing how I could’ve been more clear. I mean the hot side pipe has actual play in it. It is connected to the intercooler and the intercooler is not loose. So I’m wondering if this is normal or if I need to make sure they put the gasket in?

the rubber boot from turbo to charge has wiggle room for torque flex if if rubber is missing you feel no boost and hear loud blower fan sound when trying to boost

Thanks man! That makes it make more sense. I don't think there is any pressure loss and I was thinking I'd hear the shit out of it if something was indeed loose!
