It's similar but different version.

How do I start looking for my leaks? Should I just block off any ports that are open on my IM, if I have any.

Your best move would be to zip tie every vacuum line connection. I know it sounds like a tedious task. But this will ensure that you don't have a line disconnect on you at a bad time and know that every line is properly secured. This is why you see stock Evos with a metal clamp on every vacuum line from the factory.

I just rememered that when I was swapping my IM, two lines were not connected. If you look at middle of the IM the are 2 ports pretty close to each other. On my IM there is no hose on them.

I would strongly suggest that you put a cap on the open ports of your intake manifold or make sure you aren't missing a hose. If this is indeed the case it's pretty much a no brainer to see why you have a vacuum leak.

Yeap, so basically where ever I'll see an open port, I'm putting a cap on. Hopefully this will be it.

A vacuum leak won't make your valve leak it our valves are designed in such a way that it will ALWAYS BE OPEN when your car is at idle. You NEED to reconnect the discharge port on the valve to the turbo inlet pipe after the MAF or find a check valve large enough to put on the discharge outlet.

The only way that you will get those valves to seal at idle is to connect the hose to a pressure source, and if you do that the valve will never open.

You have three options:

1. Recirc the valve.
2. Check valve on the discharge.
3. Buy an actual atmospheric valve.
