simply as massive boost leaks?

[240kid]

I have a ton of problems with my car and sort of ignored the whole boost leak thing until now. Part of the reason I ignored it is b/c i have an external gate so i cant hear shit (leaks or anything else) once it opens until now. I can hear a massive boost leak somewhere. I know that my head to mani gasket is shot and needs replaced but I am sure that I have more leaks. Ok now my symptoms: NO power after 4k, after 4k my wideband is off the charts to the rich side (doesnt even register a number), i foul plugs like its my job...basically plugs are bad after a day or so, manifold glows orange even after a light cruise around not boosting. I orignally thought it was a wiring issue with my 6 bolt swap especially the injectors and CAS. What do you guys think?

If you know what's broke, fix it and go from there. Boost leaks = bad news always. Take care of that and see what you're left with.

Make a boost leak tester and use it. Problem solved.

The common boost leaks are easy and cheap to fix. Te boost leak tester is also easy and cheap. Go to town.


And if your question is whether or not your assumptions are correct, I have to agree. Sounds like a nasty boost leak to me.
