Make sure your hose clamps are all tight.
Start the car, and run your hands along the pipes to see where the leak is coming from. Also, make sure your BOV is tight (or welded on).

Neither does mine but I though this was normal.... I mean my freinds with smaller turbos can but I just figured that it was normal for bigger turbos? Am I wrong?

just pretty much in general u wont make boost just by reving the **** out of your car, it needs to be under a load. But try feel around on the charge piping

Re: leaking boost (jtracing919)
I've checked all my ic piping and connectors, my bov flange is welded to my pipe and is tight I am gonna try and tighten the spring and see if this helps? I am also gonna try and unhook my waste gate line and darefully see if its opening early for some reason. I have a 57 trim t3/04e. Is it not going to show boost in 1st gear cause it doesnt have as much of a load? I'm begining to go crazy trying to figure this thing out...
