Thats the first thing that came to mind but I cant find the leaks, this thing is a mess though, all rigged up.

I got a coupple PVC ends with holes drilled in em, one has a pressure guage, the other had an adapter for a hand pump, I stick one on each end of the chargepiping. I'll prolly try both tomorrow.

Re: Wierd boost problem
I had a problem like this before The valve on my wastegate was just chilling open because the lock nuts fell off.
---- pissed me off bad.
Im gonna go with fire ring on the waste gate or boost leak or MUFFLER BERRING.
BTW Im ------- wasted.

Re: Wierd boost problem *UPDATE* No charge leaks.
I pressurized the entire charge piping from end to end, found the BOV was leaking slightly, and 1 couppler had a small leak, Fixed the leaks and went for a drive. The boost raised from 2.9psi yesterday to a whooping 3.7psi today. WTF?
Exhaust is 2.5in. downpipe to a 2.5in. catback, BUT the cat that's in there is a STOCK CAT, wtf? anyway do you seriously think that the stock cat would be restricting the exhaust that much? well the car went to the body shop, it will be back friday and I guess I'll find out.
