I have fixed about 6 boost leaks and now I have a leak that I can't figure out how to fix. Its at the spring loaded throttle cable thing next to the throttlebody.. any suggestions
 
The throttlebody finally past the test :hellyeah: npw my only leak itls at the hose that comes off of the valve cover that connects to the catch can? Is that normal or is there something I need to do?

Im about to go continue my never ending blt as well, I feel your pain.

Ive been chasing small issues and boost leaks since september, but Ive driven mine a few more times than 3 ROFL or it probably would have had a small bomb under it already.

Yea its definitey an aggrevating task but its guna be worth it in the end
 
that means the air is leaking past the rings and getting into the crank case. Did you do the test with the car warm at all or was it completly cold?
