Glad to hear the fix was simple one, and you have your rig back.

What was your mpg before? I’ve been below 17 average the whole time and wondering why I’m worse than advertised.

What's your normal driving like? If you do a decent amount of 70+mph driving you're going to likely be below average.

50% 2 lane highways with 45-55mph speed limits.
25% highway driving at 75mph
25% city driving

The intake lines (blue) take in outside air and run it to the turbos. The turbos then charge, or compress, the air and feed it into the charge air lines (red). These lines run to the intercooler (yellow), which cools the charge air, then from the intercooler to the intake.

The intercooler is up front directly behind the front bumper. My bet is that's likely where the bad connection was given the other portions of the charge pipes are move visible.

Thanks for this post
