I just got done installing the Punishment Racing SMIC hard piping kit, an NGR BOV, and throttle body gasket. I took it for a spin and immediately noticed a MASSIVE boost leak my AFR was around 8.2 under 3/4 throttle on my WB. Definitely felt the engine bucking and a huge boost leak. Didnt test it out any further, took it back to the garage and inspected everything but everything was in tact and tight, i adjusted the top nut on the BOV (just for shits) and got the same result.
I remember having troubles getting the UICP sitting right with the coupler going to the IC, and the elbow coupler to the TB elbow but those still seemed they were super tight and no leaks seemed likely.
My other thought
Any thoughts on where to check or what to do? I also have DSM link that i just got installed yesterday so im not sure if there is an easy way to find where the leak is coming from other than to do a proper BLT?
