now so u know when you boost leak test your car, few things to remember one, dont hook up the tester to the intake pipe, put it directly on the turbo compressor inlet, 2, if possible find a plug and cap off the coupler to tb, clamp it down tight. 3 plug the line coming from compressor nipple to either ur manual boost controller or boost solenoid air will leak from there, disconnect vacuum line to bov so bov wont pssh it out haha

yep. Yall are spot on. Its running fine now. I cant believe that little plug could **** up my ride as much as it did. Ill try to be more observant from now on so I dont have to ask such redundant questions. Cheers

Not plugging in your MAF put the car in safe mode so it wouldnt rev or do anything good. I wonder how the car even ran with out the maf sending signals

^^ I wouldnt call it running. It was like a wounded gazelle. Opening up the throttle would get it to rev but then it would shake down to almost dying. Boost would hold for just mere seconds. I was about to regret paying to get xm in my car if i just had to pay to and get something else fixed. But nope, just the M*ther ******* MAF
