and why not read his post where he says the car idles like a champ, obviously it wouldnt if the throttle body is stuck open

your not pressurizing the engine on a boost leak test. THAT IS CALLED A LEAK DOWN TEST. a boost leak is test is just pressuring the the entire cold side of the turbo system

i guess i been doing all my boost leak tests completely wrong. i mean even when CBRD did my boost leak test before they tuned it, they did it the same exact way i do them. they didnt plug my exhaust, they didnt put my motor at TDC and they didnt plug and lines on the intake manifold. they simply drove my car in the shop and put the tester on the inlet of the turbo, and they came up with the same exact results as i did when i tested it before i took it there. no leaks at all, imagine that

Hence why I suggested plugging the exhaust to see if it's going out there where you won't hear it at the other end of the car. Even when my EGR hose was completely disconnected I built enough pressure for it to hiss a few seconds after the compressor was off.

No need to plug off any UICP. No need to put motor at TDC or anything silly like that.

Likely if you cannot get pressure in the system Id look here first and foremost.

Thanks again to Mr. Bryan for the diagram

I've tested my own car to 27psi in this manner and it holds it just fine, it doesn't come out the exhaust, it doesn't come out the dipstick tube, it stays in the charge piping.

Are you filling through a valve stem or an air line fitting? Valve stem won't fill a system with a large leak fast enough to find it.
