I was just kidding... sounded like you needed a little comic relief.

Just go back and do your leak tests! Patience is your friend

I just conducted another leak test and I found tha my BOV was leaking a lot so I cahnged for the stock one and still hiting 12 psi the only thing I heard is from the troddle but sprayed a lot of soapy water and no bubbles could someone help.

Why don't you try putting your stock pipes/hoses back and test it.

Process of elimination.

Yes I did but the thing is that everybody keeps teling me thats the pressure drop is normal, but what is normal cus my evo his engine is stock so what should be consider a perssure drop if you car is stock cus, is the normal psi for a 03 evo is 19psi or 16 psi ?, because my reading after instal the Helix IC kit is 12 psi and I dont have a MBC..

It is "normal" for the stock 03 to hit ~19 and trail off to ~16 in the top half of the RPM range...
