Cool Do I have a Boost Leak ??

I hope im posting in the right place LOL


Hi everyone,
well, the problem I have is when Im doing a WOT the PSI doesnt just jump straight to my max boost . it takes a while by the time it gets to full boost, pretty much when I reach 7000rpm I get my full boost which is 22-23PSI. so im not sure whats going on, I checked all my couplers, clamps, inter cooler and .... so does anyone know what could cause that and what are the solutions ? is it a boost leak that im facing ? thanks for reading.

Could be a boost leak, or an exhaust leak pre-turbo. Also make sure that the WGA arm is still attached to the turnbuckle, as they have been known to "pop" off
