My car is having a really weird boost leak issue. It's not throwing any codes, so I know it's a leak and not just safety boost. Last night I took it out and on my first pull I hit 14 psi. After a couple minutes I did another pull and it only went to 7psi. My third pull it only hit 5 psi. The Car is running fine otherwise, not misfiring or anything, just no boost. I don't have an EBC, just boost jets if that helps. I can hear a hiss from the driver side portion of the engine bay near the corner of the plenum, but can't pinpoint a leak. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a specific place I should look? How much good would performing a boost leak test do me? Any help is appreciated!
