checkd for boost leaks yesterday, a very tiny one @ 25psi out of my throtle body seals but nothing major, the new seals are going in... no way would it effect my boost more than 1-2 psi at most.... no other major leaks... i confirmed twice the lines are hooked up right

no that sounds about right...

Also Post up a example of how your setup looks, it will help us help you. or describe it.

right now sounds like a hose issue....

but ck inside that MBC...i know i had leakage issues with mine...but my issue was boost would not go below 24psi.

take the mbc out completely and run a line from the pressure source to the side port and see what happens.
