Looks like where the piping goes from 3" to 2.5"?

Well I can't tell you its not leaking from a picture but it looks ok to me. Crank the nut and make sure it's tight.

Those t-bolt clamps can be a bit deceptive. I ultimately double clamped my connections and have use a combination of t-bolt and the ridged band clamps.. When I first installed my CP, boost leaks were resolved by tightening clamps. They didn't really leak until high boost(14-18psi).

Can't tell from the pic. Is the coupler square with the pipe and the clamp tightened well?
