Boost leak, bad!

[NeoZer0]

Hey guys. I did my first leak test tonight and I wanted to know what you all though. I have the boostpro leak test tool with the male compressor connector and I pressurized my intake system to 10lbs of boost. I stopped the compressor and it sounds like I'm leaking from the intake manifold? Could the gasket here be leaking Please give me your thoughts. Thanks!

Possible sources of leaks are the throttle body shaft seals, throttle body to intake manifold gasket, or fuel injector seals.

Pressurize the system to 20 psi with soapy water all over and you will find your leaks much easier..

I sprayed soapy water all over the intake gasket seals and there is a hole in the gasket. I ordered a new one tonight from slowboy. I got the Magnus Heat barrier gasket seen here.

Could anyone running this let me know what you think of it? Thanks!

I had a nice leak that sounded as if it was coming from the same location. It ended up being simply a couple old vaccum lines. If you found the root of the problem this may be useless information to you, but it's worth a check as well, as it only leaked when i pressurized the system at 15psi or greater.
