    Default Boost leak

    Ok I have a major leak but not sure where the hell it is.
    I'm doing a leak test off my LICP bypassing the turbo.
    It does not hold boost at all buddy says it goes to 5psi and drops off fast.
    I can hear a leak some where around the intake manifold.
    Did a compression test here are the results.

    4: 205
    1: 205
    2: 180
    3: 190

    Let me know what you guys thing would love some Imput here shit is pissing me off lol.

    yes because if you have a leak it'll bubble up.

    can you only hear it while driving or can you hear it when you're sitting idle?

    Heh put it this way I only ran a 14.2@101Mph thats with a 57trim at 25psi huge loss of power I cant hear any leaks though, but i do a test and it wont hold any boost at all. Might think its a blow intake manifold gasket the soapy test might show me that.

    check your throttle body too. friend of mine had a leak there that caused his car to not boost at all.
    sounds like you might want to look into a heat barrier for the IM.
