squeal on light boost

So i installed an UICP, LICP, boost pipe (cobb hardpipe), and intake.

I have a squeal under light boost, and tends to go ease up (not totally go away) after i the car is heated up. Thought it was a leak, but i have tightened all the t-clamps darn near as tight as they will go, and adjusted most of them and re-tightened, but still have the squeal.

Is there something else that could cause this, or should i just keep adjusting the couplers and tighten again until i work it out?

it was provided by cobb with the hardpipe kit. Feels like quality. not sure to be complete honest, but my educated guess would be that it is a good one, doesn't feel like cheap hard plastic or anything.

Do a boost leak test and find out. Common sense.

past having to make a tester, which i could do, I am scared to do it. I have heard of it messing up, popping off and so on.

I will do this last resort, but was hoping for a different solution. or a way to test for leak without Mcguivering a device.

thanks for input so far guys, if nothing else i will head to lowes.

found it and fixed it. Looks like the UICP on the turbo side was loose. Well not loose but the clamp was crooked so it just wasn't sitting right.
