I would have to guess that your problem lies in the lower intercooler pipe. I forgot to tighten my clamps when I was reinstalling my lower intercooler pipe and got nothing on my gauge from the leak test. Wondering what the problem was, I checked where I was a sure enough the clamps were not tightened.

why woudl you want to do this? If you did then how would you check for leaks on the UIP? You should be fine with just taking off the intake, and testing the system as it.
If you are getting no pressure reading on the gauge, it has to be a major leak..

How does him having air leaking from his exhaust trace back to a LICP issue?

you really think the throttle blade will make a perfect seal? what about the idle air control valve too If you have done it before without air coming out the exhaust You just getting lucky that the correct combination of valves are closed

the point is, that regardless if the UIP is sealed or not, the system will still pressurize...
I understand how to do a boost leak test and how it works, this isnt what this post is about. We are simply trying to find the source of the leak...I'm not trying to sound like an a*s here.
