Radiator leak after Procharger install

Anyone else have this issue? My mechanic said it is super tight right where the charge pipe comes off of the intercooler and the radiator right there had to be moved. It is leaking from there and he is taking back apart but not sure how much room is left or what needs to be done. Was just curious to see if anyone else had run into it so I could pass the information along to him to speed things up, I am supposed to be in for tuning this morning but this is keeping me from getting it there and I had to wait two weeks to get in and I really don't want to have to reschedule and wait another two weeks.

Yep...another member did with a Maggie install. There are 2 different size bolts for the radiator bracket or something that your install guy removed, but he probably put the longer one back in the wrong spot and punctured the radiator.

No radiator leak but the belt cut into one of my AC hoses.

When you relocate the aux radiator on the drivers side. Sometimes that hose doesn't get tightened properly. I had to pull my front fascia off and tighten that hose clamp a bit more back when I installed mine.
