Checked all intercooler boots the are fine not tears or cracks in the boots. All the clamps are tight. Did fine the V band clamp on the turbo a little loose. Still runs the same . Any other things i can check.

custom tuned chip from PHP (Power Hungry Performance) and a cold air, exhaust, injectors, aftermarket turbo set up, depends on how much money you want to throw at it

Where are you located at? Might have someone in your area that could come over and take a look.

Go to your local store and get a fogging machine. They are about $20. Tie it in where you put your boost gauge. Let it pressurize the system and start checking for fog throughout the system.
