boost leak is killing me !!!

I've searched for a few hours on this board and can't find anything I need. I have a bad boost leak. It drops of from about a 20psi hold down to 10psi and is very audible. This boost leak is also load based. It comes on at 6000rpms in 2nd, 6000rpms in 3rd, 5000rpms in 4th, 4500rpms in 5th.

We have pressure tested the pipes and can't find any leaks. We have swapped BOVs out to make sure mine wasn't leaking. We have pulled the line off the boost controller and tried to just let the boost spike (was running race gas) but all it did was spike to 30psi and drop straight back off. I had the FP wastegate on there, and swapped the stock one back on with no luck. I've double checked my mbc lines and everything is t-bolted down. Zip tied all my boost lines.

Hopefully someone will have some insight on this problem and I can finally get it resolved.

It's your intake snorkel. Fasten it down with both clips - it's not a boost leak.
