Could all be psychological too. I don't know about you guys but mine runs better after a good hand washing.

The ER re-uses stock O- ring.

VRSF comes with a larger O ring.

No, charge pipe will make no difference unless the original one was damaged. Your description sounds like a boost leak, so your original was probably cracked or not sealed properly.

If thats true then that is probably the case, isn't it pretty common for those stock cp's to not seal properly even when assembled correctly?

Stock always seals the best. But they can crack at stock boost levels.

+1 they seal where the seal is, they just tend to get hairline cracks that are hard to see unless your holding the cp and look, or under boost.
