Same Issue

I'm having almost the same issue. If I build boost slowly and gradually it will hold to 22psi (what its set at) and not leak at all. But If i pull the rpms up fast and hard, it will drop to 10psi and leak like crazy. I boost leak tested the car to 30psi, sprayed soapy water on every single connection and no leaks, no hissing, nothing. This is driving me crazy. I have the stock ix bov.
