Dude...lol. Here's why I haven't done one yet. Before the dyno I was at 20psi tapering to 18psi,which is normal. Now at 30psi, it's dropping to 15psi with no change in mods,which leads me to believe, it's being caused by either the old forge not holding high boost or the wastegate not holding high boost. Also the hks may not be great for 30psi. I have all the replacement parts to test already to see if it solves the problem. I want to check those first,before I spend money on the materials needed for a leak test. I'll be doing a test run tomorrow to see how the Hallman works.

I appreciate the help guys. The car is at the shop right now. If you guys happen to be on that side of town and could meet me somewhere so I could borrow the tester, i'd appreciate it. And I didn't even consider a leak test before the dyno,because it didn't show any issues. And I'm not crushing the stock bov. It's some what of a show car too.lol. I'll splurge on a synapse or APS. lol

Well the test is done...Good news is, it's what we figured in the first place. The HKS isn't holding. When we were pumping air in, the valve stayed open on the bov and was blowing air out. So yea, good news is, we found it. Bad news is, the car will probably be sitting for a while because now I need a short route upper and new bov. FML...lol

This maybe true, but I think a simple VWR manifold will go for about the same price as a Full-Race one, roughly 9-10 big ones.
