[QUOTE="powerlifter405, post: 708876, member: 2044"] I was loosing boost at WOT, or hard acceleration when I tow my bronco. I went from 40lbs in tow under throttle, to a high in X of 38 w/ a leak down to about 28lbs. I lost mileage and driveability so I started looking for leaks after bouncing ideas off IDP. I did a low pressure test and nothing. I slowly turned the regulator up and i could hear it at about 25ish lbs. I kept the reg there and sprayed away. The cab will need to come up to check the rest of the connections. Either way, thank God, the HP turbo is under warranty so that covers the other gasket leak as well. PM your # and I can send you a vid of what I found. they're not supre fancy but you can see the bubbling. AND it was my old ford tech that told me he uses smoke, 25-30lbs (according to ford guidlines), caps the exhaust and uses the EBP bung to test from when he's looking for leaks on the exhaust side. I used a silicon reducer and put it on the straight pipe and w/in a few minutes I found 2 leaks my new dealership couldnt find. good luck. [/QUOTE]
