So I've got my SR redtop swap done, and had some boost leak issues, thought i had them all fixed, but now I can't get above 7-8 PSI under load without it cutting back all of a sudden, so I'm 100% its a very small boost leak, because it runs perfect at idle, MAF is good. Anybody have an inexpensive effective way to check for small boost leaks?
