i remember something with the tabs on the stock intake causing suction i think... i dont' know if thats it, but i think it might be because in the other occasion there were no leaks... i could be wrong, but check the tabs on your intake

Yeah, do you still have the stock intake, and do you still have the clips holding down the snorkel that connects to the front of the engine bay? If you have the snorkel still, and it's not clipped, then it will cause major boost loss up around 5500-6000rpm.
